“20 in Their Twenties” Business Event Leaders Named

The Professional Convention Management Association released its annual list of young leaders making an impact in the meetings industry.

PCMA’s “20 in Their Twenties” class of 2020 is out and includes young meetings professionals from all over the world, including the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Australia.

Meredith Rollins, PCMA’s chief community officer and executive director of the PCMA Foundation, said in a statement that the group represents the future of the industry. She added that the PCMA Foundation recognized them for demonstrating “the influence business events have on global economic and social transformation.” Honorees will receive a scholarship to attend PCMA’s “20 in Their Twenties” and EduCon events and be invited to contribute to a focus group providing insights from emerging business influencers.
