The Events Industry Council (EIC) operates as a coalition of more than 30 member organizations, collectively representing tens of thousands of individuals and nearly twenty thousand firms and properties involved in meetings, conventions, and exhibitions. It facilitates sharing information across the sector, encourages adoption of established industry practices, and develops programs to enhance professional standards among meeting planners, while also informing the public about the sector's economic impact. Among its signature initiatives are the Certified Meeting Professional credential and the Accepted Practices Exchange, along with various industry resource projects. Based in Washington, DC, the EIC positions itself as a global authority on advocacy, research, professional recognition, and standards within the events services arena, coordinating efforts across a broad network of industry stakeholders. Its work targets professionals and organizations connected to meetings and events, focusing on professional development, standardized practices, and sustainable industry advancement through strategic partnerships and collaborations. A notable recent development occurred in March 2026, when Malaysia's MyCEB partnered with the EIC to advance sustainable events through the SEPC program.
