Certification in Meeting Management (CMM)
The mission of the CMM program is to select, educate, and certify management-level meeting and event professionals. We enhance the strategic decision making ability of these leaders to manage and deliver exceptional meetings and events that drive organizational success.
In keeping with our commitment to co-creation, CMM has been evaluated and continues to be re-imagined. Our commitment to co-creation as a community is about our quest to elevate the conversation throughout our industry. And CMM is no exception.
In recognition of converging industry dynamics and more demanding professional requirements, MPI evolved the CMM program in 2008 and more than ever, the curriculum focuses on strategic meeting management practices.
MPI brought key leaders together with expertise in meetings certification and strategic planning to identify curriculum enhancements for the CMM program. As a result, through a series of co-creation sessions, MPI has re-launched a revitalized, expanded CMM, more relevant to strategic meetings management and the evolving, planner professional. Current enhancements in curriculum include business analysis, leadership architecture, high level marketing and increased faculty interaction.
