On April 11, RBC Place London will join cities around the world in celebrating Global Meetings Industry Day (GMID), an international day of advocacy showcasing the undeniable value that business meetings, trade shows, exhibitions, conferences, and conventions bring to people, businesses, and our community.

This year's theme, #TheEventProfessionalsJourney, highlights the evolution and expertise within the industry. In honour of this theme, members of the RBC Place London team will collaborate with faculty from Fanshawe's Event Management program to educate the next generation of event professionals about the dynamic world of business meetings and events and its immense impact on the world.

About GMID: Originally established as Canadian National Meetings Industry Day, GMID has roots dating back over 20 years in Canada, initiated by the Canadian Chapters of MPI. In 2015, it grew into North American Meetings Industry Day under the auspices of Meetings Mean Business. The inaugural global edition took place in 2016, marking a significant milestone in its evolution. Learn More and Get Involved!
