Today, we celebrate Global Meeting Industry Day 🌎, recognizing the invaluable contributions of event professionals worldwide. Despite being ranked the third most stressful job in the world (according to a study by the World Scholarship Vault), industry professionals continue to pour their heart and passion into every project.
Business events play a crucial role in our economy, with significant impacts on tourism spending and economic growth. 💡 In Canada alone, business events account for 40% of all tourism spending, contributing $47 billion to the economy and supporting 242,000 direct jobs. The average spend per participant, per event, is $901, highlighting the significant economic impact of the meetings industry.
As we celebrate GMID, let's take a moment to appreciate the hard work, creativity and dedication of event professionals who make memorable experiences possible, driving economic growth and fostering connections that are more important than ever.
