A great corporate event changes people.

It creates momentum. It influences decisions. It strengthens connections.

Creating those outcomes takes more than logistics. It requires thoughtful design, intentional experiences, and a deep understanding of the people in the room. Our expertise in exactly that is what shapes this chapter of our brand story.

Everyone is talking about AI, but most organizations are only scratching the surface of what it can do for meetings and events.

That's because the real power of AI lies in its outcomes, not the technology itself.

At the M&IW Summit, leaders from Hyatt, Cvent, and M&IW discussed how AI is helping organizations improve event experiences, increase efficiency, and make smarter business decisions.

Our latest blog post shares the biggest takeaways so you can move beyond experimentation and turn AI into a competitive advantage.

One connection can change everything. ❤️

A trip to Rwanda in 2021 led to a friendship with a local artist. That friendship inspired our Summit community to come together in 2023 and help fund an art center in his village.

Today, that center is a place where children can learn creative skills, families can find new opportunities, and a community can continue building a brighter future.

This year, M&IW was proud to continue supporting the art center through another donation, extending the impact even further.

That's the power of connection. That's the power of giving back.

More than 55 years ago, M&IW was built on service.

Today, that foundation remains unchanged.

What has changed is the complexity of the events our customers rely on to engage audiences, drive strategy, and accelerate results.

Our refreshed brand honors where we've been while still representing the company we've become. Explore the full story behind our next chapter ➡️ https://meetings-incentives.com/meetings-incentives-worldwide-unveils-branding-refresh-with-a-future-ready-focus/

Events matter more than ever.

The expectations placed on meetings and events have changed. Success isn't measured by attendance but by what happens after the event.

What decisions were made? What relationships were strengthened? What actions were taken?

Our brand refresh reflects our commitment to helping customers create events that move business forward.

A special gift for our team members at the 2026 M&IW Summit. 🎼

Thanks to the generosity of our supplier partner, Hello! DMC, each attendee received a handcrafted piece of jewelry from Strings for Hope, an organization that empowers survivors of human trafficking through meaningful employment and financial opportunity. Each piece is created from donated musical strings and carries a story of resilience and hope.

As a company in the meetings and events industry, supporting organizations that help survivors of human trafficking rebuild their lives is especially meaningful to us.

Thank you to Hello! DMC for this thoughtful gift and for helping us celebrate the power of purpose, partnership, and giving back.

Sustainability at the 2026 ♻️

Sustainability isn't just about reducing waste. It's about creating meaningful impact.

Thanks to our Sustainability Sponsor, SpotMe, this year’s M&IW Summit was more ecofriendly than ever. As just one example, we partnered with Copia and the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center to recover surplus food and meeting supplies from Summit and redirect them back into the community.

The results:
✅ More than 150 people fed through a community food giveaway
✅ 222 non-food meeting items recovered and donated
✅ Valuable resources kept out of landfills and put to immediate use

This donation came at a critical time, helping community members affected by recent tornadoes and power outages.

We're grateful to our partners and team members who made this effort possible and proud to see the impact of Summit continue long after the event ended.
