While this year is unprecedented, we envision the Events Industry Council’s role as offering an inclusive event that advances our global business events industry. On behalf of our global federation of more than 30 organisations, we are proud to announce EIC Advance.

EIC Advance will take place 18-20 November 2020 and features three days of innovative education, peer-to-peer connection, on-demand programming and global recognition that will cover global time zones.

Collaboration and a unified commitment to industry professionalism have always been at the core of our CMP Conclave event. EIC Advance will build on that core to elevate, inspire and connect our global community of industry professionals. Now more than ever, we need to come together to help advance our global business events industry.

EIC Advance is open to all event industry professionals. It will also feature exclusive CMP activities and an opportunity to connect and celebrate with fellow CMPs and earn CEs toward CMP and CMP-HC certification.

As an EIC Advance speaker, you have the opportunity share your passion, knowledge, skill and expertise during this unique event. Whether you want to lead a session that offers discussion and collaboration, or you want to inspire, this is an opportunity to address the global events industry.
