Warm greetings to everyone participating in the 9th International
Technology, Meetings and Incentives Conference of the Connected International
Meeting
Professionals Association.
Working to foster excellence in the meetings profession
and related industries and to make the most of today's revolution in
information technology, the members of CIMPA play a vital role in helping
businesses and organizations around the world to plan successful meetings,
conferences and other events. Your theme this year, "A World With No
Borders," reflects your commitment to building the professional
partnerships and international bridges of friendship that are so important
to global peace and prosperity.
I am pleased that so many leaders from the meetings,
technology, incentives and travel and tourism industries are gathering once
again to share information and strategies to promote growth and enhance
customer service. Your industry has seen remarkable advances in recent
years, and you can be proud of your contributions to this exciting progress.
Best wishes for a productive and enjoyable conference.
