I may be stuck at my desk instead of being out and about touting the benefits—economic, and more importantly, educational and professional—of meetings, conferences, conventions, incentive travel, trade shows, and exhibitions as so many are doing around the world today in recognition of the first Global Meetings Industry Day, or #GMID16, as it's known in the Twittersphere.
But I did pull together this infographic to highlight just a few of the reasons why this day should be a big deal for everyone, not just meeting professionals and their supplier partners.
And if you are participating in a #GMID16 event, please send me some photos (my e-mail is [email protected]) and a few sentences about what the experience was like so we can continue to share what this day is all about.
