The Meeting Information Network (MINT) gives subscribing bureaus the power to search an extensive database of organization and meeting records contributed by 150+ member CVBs worldwide. The database currently offers increasing value to our subscribing bureaus, providing access to profiles on almost 16,000 organizations, nearly 32,000 meetings and more than 81,000 post-convention reports for potential leads, lead verification, and convention center feasibility studies.

In 2005, the number of new organization profiles increased 40% over 2004. There was also a 36% increase in meeting profiles entered in 2005 over the previous year. These outstanding results are thanks to our MINT subscribers.

Each year the association recognizes the highest-reporting bureaus for their contributions to MINT. Thank you and congratulations to the following coordinators and their bureaus for their diligent work and continued support of MINT!
