I was fortunate to attend the Connecticut River Valley Chapter of MPI on Tuesday for an educational seminar about Meeting Industry Trends and Forecast for 2011 published by FutureWatch. I am happy to report that the meetings industry is predicted to keep moving upward at a steady pace in 2011 and that the number of meetings overall in 2011 is expected to increase 11% with meeting spend revenue is expected to increase 14%. Of that increase, 30% will be from Third Party Firms such as ADI Meetings & Events.
Even though it's a slow, steady upward trend, all in all, the future looks bright for the industry!
