Meetings Mean Business Coalition

Meetings Mean Business is an industry-wide coalition working to showcase the undeniable value that business meetings, trade shows, incentive travel, exhibitions, conferences and conventions bring to people, businesses and communities.

Comprised of over 70 members, this group—merged under the U.S. Travel umbrella—convenes quarterly and works to raise the profile and importance of meetings and events in the media and in the minds of lawmakers. Amplifying the needs of meetings, events and business travel is critical to not only the overall recovery of travel, but also the growth and standing of our industry into the future.

MMBC participation eligibility:

Included in membership: Chairman's Circle, Board Circle and Association Board Circle levels
Eligible for a fee: Sustaining and Pillar levels, plus select friends of travel
