Event Travel Management (ETM) Named to MeetingsNet’s 2023 CMI 25 List

The 16th annual list of the largest meeting and incentive travel companies

Event Travel Management (ETM) announced today that it has been named to MeetingsNet’s 2023 CMI 25 list, recognizing the leading full-service companies in meeting and incentive-travel management with a specialization in serving the corporate market in the United States.

The annual report from MeetingsNet, a respected digital publication and website specializing in the meetings and incentives sector, serves as the primary reference for businesses seeking experienced event planning collaborators. According to the analysis, the companies featured on the 2023 CMI 25 list collectively organized approximately 85,000 corporate meetings and nearly 3,000 incentive travel programs throughout 2022.

According to Sue Hatch, MeetingsNet Content Director, the number of meetings handled in 2022 was lower than pre-pandemic levels, but still demonstrated a remarkable recovery compared to 2021. For instance, the median number of room nights booked for meetings and incentive travel surged from 26,761 in 2021 to 138,894 in 2022.

“These companies are not just survivors—they’re growing, innovating, and building partnerships to drive success in today’s new market conditions, Sue said. “The CMI 25 report includes statistics on business volume, company news briefs, and executive commentary, giving readers a sense of the focus, strengths, and size of these major third-party firms.”

Tami Reier, CMM, CMP, Senior Vice President & General Manager of ETM North America, expressed her excitement over being included in MeetingNet’s CMI 25 list once again.

“This achievement highlights ETM’s dedication to providing innovative meeting and event solutions, such as our exclusive SMM incubator and Incentive Trilogy offerings,” said Reier. “ETM is committed to supporting its customers during this dynamic period for the events industry.”

The CMI 25 list is published in the September/October 2023 issue of the MeetingsNet digital magazine (http://www.meetingsnet.com/digital-edition), and on www.meetingsnet.com.

The MeetingsNet editors selected the 2023 CMI 25 companies based on several factors, including the number of in-person meetings and incentive travel programs managed in 2022 and the total number of room nights represented by those meetings and incentives. They also considered the number of full-time employees, the number of virtual meetings executed, and the percentage of the company’s 2022 revenues that came from organizing corporate meetings and incentives versus association meetings or other sources.
