About
CMI 25
The
MeetingsNet editors selected CMI
25 companies based on several factors, including the number of meetings
and incentive travel programs managed in 2016 and the total number of room
nights represented by those meetings and incentives. They also considered
the number of full-time employees at each company, as well as the percentage
of the company’s 2016 revenues that came from organizing corporate meetings
and incentives versus association meetings or other sources.
