NBTA Launching SMMP Certification Program

The National Business Travel Association will be offering a Strategic Meetings Management certification program within the next 12 months.

It will be interesting to see how many meeting planners complete this certification. My guess is that it will be quite successful, following in the footsteps of the CMP, CMM and CTSM programs.

BUCOM International named in CMI 25 Top Meeting Planning Agencies. Again.


BUCOM INTERNATIONAL has been named to the second annual “CMI 25” list of the industry's largest and most influential full-service independent meeting and incentive travel management companies. Compiled by Penton Media's Corporate Meetings & Incentives® Magazine, the leading information source for the $40.3 billion corporate meetings and events industry, the CMI 25 provides an essential resource for corporate executives and meeting professionals seeking partners for outsourcing all or parts of their programs.

“The CMI 25 list represents the leading companies in the industry, based on extensive research by our staff,” said Barbara Scofidio, editor of Corporate Meetings & Incentives Magazine. "As outsourcing of meeting and incentive travel program planning becomes increasingly important to corporate America, the CMI 25 have become the ‘go-to’ service providers for executives in many sectors.”

We thank CMI for the recognition, our clients for the inspiration and our team for it's dedication.
