What is National Meetings Industry Day (NMID)?
NMID is first and most importantly an educational event. This MPI initiative has three objectives:
- to define and shape the meetings and events profession in the future;
- to help raise the profile of the industry and the benefits it generates for communities and institutions across Canada;
- to discuss the economic impact of meetings in their region with people who are outside of the industry
Members from the Canadian Chapters of MPI celebrate with a variety of educational and networking activities focusing on the significance of the Canadian meetings industry and the value of meetings to the broader business community.
Each year, a theme is chosen by the chapters, which helps to give the individual organizing committees a direction for speakers and discussions around the event. Chapters are free to interpret the chosen theme in a number of different ways however the objective of the NMID is to provide its’ members, allied organizations, organizations and communities the opportunity to learn and be educated regarding varying aspects of the meetings industry.
We also celebrate and recognize people or organizations outside the direct industry which have supported the development of meetings and conventions or the development of policy and programs impacting the industry. Each chapter recognizes one person or organization in their community who has made a difference to the meetings industry but may not be actively involved in it. These awards will be announced nationally and presented at the NMID session as part of the overall program. The NMID Award gives the Chapter an opportunity recognize the accomplishments of people or organizations contributing to the meetings sector and strengthen relationships with external supporters.
