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—newly 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.

Voices from around the world came together on Global Meetings Industry Day 2022 to help showcase the value of meetings and business travel.
