Just how much does the meetings/events industry matter to our economy? Now we know! The Convention Industry Council recently published an Economic Significance Study (ESS), conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers, which quantifies a vital industry that contributes billions of dollars to the national economy, while creating millions of jobs in almost every city. The ESS provides us a clear and credible statistical base on which to gain recognition for the industry as a vital economic force in our country, and the outcomes assist the nation's political and business leaders to better understand the economic weight of the meetings, events, incentive and exhibitions industry to local communities.
