CIC Launches U.S. Economic Impact Study

The Convention Industry Council (CIC) has issued a comprehensive survey to meeting planners which will develop data necessary to determine the economic significance that meetings represent and to produce a basis for ongoing benchmarking and analysis of the meetings sector. The study is being conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers, and the survey is being sent to planner members of CIC’s member organizations. If you received the survey and have questions, contact the PwC project director, Robert Canton, at robert.canton@us.pwc.com, or if you have any technical or operational issues with the survey, please contact pwc.survey.center@us.pwc.com.

Meetings Industry Under Attack

It is no secret that the meetings industry has come under attack in the media and Congress.  CIC and its member organizations have been working with an industry coalition to get the message out that meetings are good for business and jobs.

Here’s What You Can Do

The US Travel Association has developed a website with factual information and resources for you to help. Go to www.Meetingsmeanbusiness.com.

Sign the petition to show your support for the communities, businesses and millions of employees who rely on meetings, events and performance incentive travel. This petition will be delivered to the White House, Congress and to Fortune 200 business leaders.

Keep America Meeting.org

The CIC Chair has appointed a Task Force as a clearing house and feedback loop for members relative to these issues. Email us your thoughts.
