The Impact in Action

Despite the absence of our annual fundraising events and activities, your continued support allowed us to make a difference when it was needed the most. Through your generous contributions and unwavering commitment to prepare the business events community for the next normal, over $900K was invested in the future of our industry – supporting the upskilling of over 400 business event professionals and students, publishing transformational research studies, and providing financial contributions to organizations supporting those most in need.
