The Convention Industry Council (CIC) is pleased to announce 443 newly designated Certified Meeting Professionals (CMPs) who passed the January 22, 2005 CMP examination. Now in its twentieth year, the CMP Program has certified 10,297 individuals in 26 countries. The list of the new CMPs is attached and is available on the CIC website.
Regarded as the premier certification program in the industry, the CMP examination tests the candidates’ knowledge of meeting management. In addition to passing this rigorous examination, candidates must also demonstrate employment in the field as well as responsibility and accountability for successful meetings. The January examination was administered in 21 cities throughout North America.
The CMP Program is designed to increase the professionalism of meeting managers in any component or sector of the industry, recognize and raise industry standards, and increase the value of these practitioners to their employers and individuals to whom their services are provided.
The next North American CMP examinations are scheduled for July 9, 2005 (the application deadline was March 7) and January 21, 2006 with an application deadline of September 12, 2005. CIC also administers an annual International examination in conjunction with IMEX in Frankfurt, Germany. Interested meeting professionals may purchase the CMP Candidate Handbook from the CIC website.
