Melissa Fromento, MeetingsNet’s managing director, enthusiastically welcomed attendees to the CMI 25 reception at Brooklyn Bowl.

SongDivision’s John Lombardo interviewed Mary MacGregor, BI Worldwide, in order to celebrate her with an “InstaHit,” a song that he and his colleagues wrote in just three minutes. Mary’s news: “I’m retiring!”

SongDivision wrote and performed a song that included the names of all of the CMI 25 companies. John Lombardo belted it out with feeling, with support from Sam McNeil.

Representing CMI 25 sponsor IMEX Group, Oliver Hone toasted attendees at the 11th annual CMI 25 reception.
