GMID is a celebration of the meetings industry and the economic benefit that it brings, taking place across the world. The day is organised by Meetings Mean Business, a coalition of meetings industry eventprofs that started in Canada, but now has a global reach.
This year’s GMID theme is Meet Safe, recognising the industry’s top priority of operating meetings and events with health and safety top-of-mind.
There are a number of in-person and virtual meet-ups happening for GMID 2021. For North American readers, a collection of these events can be viewed here on the MMB website.
April 7, 2021
Always a great opportunity to celebrate the importance of face-to-face gatherings big and small,
Global Meetings Industry Day takes on added significance this year. Just as last year’s all-virtual celebration was a reflection of the pandemic’s beginnings, planned meetings this Thursday, April 8, offer a preview of the future.
Created by the
Meetings Mean Business Coalition in 2016, GMID 2021 “represents a milestone in the safe return of major in-person events and for the people, communities and cities who rely on them,” according to Coalition representatives. Events will occur on three continents, including North America, where the momentum continues to build for in-person trade shows, conferences and other events.

Thankfully, NYC & Company, the official destination marketing organization and convention and visitors bureau for the five boroughs of New York City, is celebrating with history with a new campaign commemorating “the vibrancy and cultural nuances of New York City’s Black community, which enrich the City’s diversity.”
