❚ BCD M&E released a new white paper on strategic meetings management in June. “Meetings Management Programs: Building for Change” expands on the SMM model developed by the Global Business Travel Association, considering 12 areas where organizations can measure their programs on a four-tier scale that runs from “unmanaged” to “developing” to “performing” and finally to “leading.” The areas to be measured are strategy, policy, technology, registration and approvals, strategic sourcing, process, preferred suppliers, payment, reporting, resource model, engagement, and stakeholders.

❚ In January, the company promoted Bruce Morgan, a 15-year BCD M&E veteran, to chief operating officer from his role as senior vice president, meetings management & LATAM.

❚ In 2019, BCD M&E acquired L37, an event production and creative media agency headquartered in Chicago.
