Events Industry Council

75 years ago the Events Industry Council emerged from informal discussions between leaders from four founding member organisations. Today, EIC has grown into a global federation serving the industry through advocacy, research, professional standards and recognition. Our 55+ Association and Corporate members represent every sector of the business events industry. Together, we are uniquely positioned to foster meaningful change and shape a story of our industry's purpose and impact. #EIC75 #EIC #BusinessEvents #FutureOfEvents #PowerOfEvents — with Amy Calvert, Ana María Viscasillas, MBA, CDME, DES, CED, Senthil Gopinath, Sherrif Karamat, Jason Dunn Sr., Tina Wehmeir, CMP, CAE, Stephanie Harris, Elizabeth Garcia Braga-Niehaus (She/Her/Hers), Michelle Mason, FASAE, CAE, Michael Dominguez, FASAE, CHSE, Annette Gregg, CMM MBA, Kimberly Napolitano, Martin Boyle Video production: Wisdom Capture

Great article from Skift Meetings highlighting EICs Sustainable Events Standards and the SEPC. FICP Event Director, Ellie Hurley shares tips and encouragement for those on the road to obtaining EIC Sustainable Event certification. "Hurley’s first stop was the EIC website, which has a wealth of free information, including webinars, how-to-guides and white papers. From there, she decided to take EIC’s Sustainable Event Professional certification a year and half ago", the article says. “One of the big things I took out of that was, ‘Don’t be overwhelmed, just take a step forward,’” said Hurley.
