Yesterday was Global Meetings Industry Day (GMID), when hundreds of meeting and event industry professionals gathered in locations around the globe to focus on the impact that meetings, conventions, and trade shows have on both people and the economy. This year’s tagline was “Real results, real impact, all around the world.” In 2017, there were more than 120 events held on six continents. (Data isn’t available yet for this year’s event.)
Here are just a few snapshots from around the world (you can find more by searching for the hashtags #GMID18 and #MMbusiness):
