National Meetings Industry Day 2008MPI Foundation Canada White Paper: The Economic Impact of Meetings and Events  Meeting Professionals International Foundation Canada (MPIFC) has released findings of the first research study ever conducted on the economic impact of meetings in Canada. The study, conducted by Maritz Research Canada and the Conference Board of Canada, provides data on industry revenues and delegate spending in the Canadian meetings and events sector, and on the direct and indirect benefits that the sector contributes to the Canadian economy. This is the first study to utilize the United Nations World Tourism Organization’s (UNWTO) measurement model, which permits quick and accurate comparisons of meetings industry performance against other industries and the economy as a whole. Coherent definition of the “meetings sector” will lead to greater recognition of meetings and events as an economic driver.
