CMP: The Certified Meeting Professional designation requires completing a stringent application process and passing an exam on all phases of meetings. Our chapter has a CMP study committee that assists in the application and study process for the exam. The CMP is recognized throughout the world in the meeting profession. Learn more about the CMP.
CMM: The Certification in Meeting Management designation began in Europe, but has recently been offered in the United States. As the first university co-developed professional designation, CMM is the premiere designation in the meeting industry and has major implications for professional success and career development of senior-level industry professionals. The program blends a traditional educational framework with a hands-on, interactive setting. CMM candidates take part in an intensive four-step process that includes pre-residency, residency, examination and post-residency components. Pre-residency involves active participation in an MPI learning group using online technology and a variety of reading assignments; residency includes a four-and-a-half-day residential full-immersion course and examination; and finally, a post-residency business project.
