The Meeting Support Institute is a non-profit association with a mission: develop a new category in the meetings industry alongside logistics and hospitality, which is familiar to anyone in the industry. The emerging category of “meeting support” brings together tools and services with a common objective: produce better meetings with more powerful, measurable results. For meeting planners, we provide a wide range of resources to improve their meetings toward today’s major challenges such as ROI, regulatory limitations, procurement etc. while learning more about the strategic meeting products and services on the market. |
