MMI partners with Go LIVE Together coalition

Go LIVE Together Coalition Aims to Protect the Trade Show & Live Events Industry

​Meeting Masters, Inc., is proud to announce we are now a partner of the coalition that brings together live events industry leaders to urge local, state, and federal legislators to consider measures for support and recovery. Read on to learn more.

Meeting Masters, Inc. announces their support as a partner for Go LIVE Together, a coalition of 80 founding partners—representing over 4,000 companies with U.S. operations—who have joined forces to support legislative actions that will aid the industry’s recovery from COVID-19.  The coalition is bound together by the belief that nothing in the world will ever replace the power and need for trade shows and live events.

"Live events are REAL - that exchange of
energy can never be recreated virtually."
​
​- Diane Fulton, MMI President

Events serve as a massive incubator for innovation and economic growth.  Advocating for recovery funding will be essential – not only to the events industry – but to the healing and recovery efforts of the global economy, because:

• Live events contribute nearly $1 trillion to the U.S. economy annually, with events touching every major sector that makes up the U.S. GDP.
• In 2019, the events industry employed 3 million workers directly, with a total impact of close to 7 million jobs.
• The live events industry employs millions of union workers, general laborers, strategists, marketers, concession stand workers, entertainers, riggers, project managers, and more.
• Over 80 percent of the companies that serve the live events industry are small, with many being women and minority-owned businesses.

Please join our efforts in advocating for what we all already know to be true — nothing in the world will ever replace the power and the need for live events.
