Global Certification in Meeting Management
The CMM offers senior level meeting professionals the opportunity for:

• Education in strategic thinking and acting,
  
• A global certification and industry recognition,
  
• Potential career advancement,
  
• A networking community of other senior-level people.

You may already be a part of strategic management within your organization, or have the potential to be recognized as contributing substantially to an organization's bottom line.

If so, the CMM designation offers you the potential to make substantial additional progress in this endeavor. It also offers you the prestige that accompanies having the most premiere, worldwide designation in the meetings industry!

By focusing on management issues critical to advancing in the meeting industry, the course can benefit all senior meeting and event professionals -- whether you seek the prestige and career rewards that come with the CMM designation, or the training in senior management processes and inspiration that improve your strategic planning skills.

Through a four-step process, candidates progress deeper into strategic thinking and acting. These steps include acceptance into the program and successful participation in an educational journey through the following three aspects of the program:

• Part I PRE-RESIDENCY - Active participation in an MPI learning group using technology; and various reading assignments;
  
  
• Part II RESIDENCY - Attendance at an intense four-½ day residency program in a campus-or conference center like atmosphere with participation in a group case study and individual examination;
  
  
• Part III POST-RESIDENCY - Completion of a post-residency business project.

How is the CMM different from the CMP?

The Certificate in Meeting Management (CMM), in no way affects the status of the Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) designation. In a totally non-competitive posture, the CMM is structured to complement the CMP designation. Whereas the CMP is more tactical in nature, the CMM focuses on strategic initiatives and executive decision-making.
