This program is aligned with the Events Industry Council’s CMP-International Standards (CMP-IS) and provides a clear, structured pathway to certification readiness.
As the meetings and events industry continues its upward trajectory, data underscores the rising demand for certified professionals. According to the Events Industry Council, over 11,000 individuals across 55 countries currently hold the CMP credential, with certified professionals consistently outperforming peers in leadership roles and compensation. Furthermore, a 2023 survey by Meeting Professionals International revealed that CMP-certified professionals reported an average salary increase of up to 20% compared to non-certified counterparts. Complementing this, Statista forecasts that the global event services industry will exceed USD 1.5 trillion by 2028, highlighting the critical role of professional training in supporting high-quality service delivery and strategic event outcomes.
