The Events Industry Council (EIC) and the Joint Meetings Industry Council (JMIC) have announced a new collaboration to align efforts in three critical areas: advancing sustainability within the global events sector, advocating collectively on behalf of the business events industry, and producing the next global Economic Significance Study in partnership with Oxford Economics.
This collaboration brings together two of the industry’s leading global organisations, uniting their respective networks and expertise to strengthen the voice, influence, and long-term resilience of the business events community worldwide.
With the global industry navigating heightened uncertainty – ranging from shifting regulatory frameworks and macroeconomic volatility to evolving geopolitical conditions – the need for coordinated action has never been more important. This collaborationaims to help industry stakeholders respond proactively and strategically in a period of accelerated change.
Alexander Alles, Executive Director of JMIC said: “Through this strategic partnership both Councils will amplify our collective impact on the global stage for the benefit of our industry.
By aligning sustainability efforts, strengthening advocacy, and delivering robust economic insights, we are equipping the business events industry with tools to drive meaningful progress.”
