Course Overview
As corporations increasingly integrate travel, procurement, and meetings into their business strategy, the need for a structured approach to meetings management has never been greater. This foundational course provides a comprehensive introduction to Strategic Meetings Management (SMM)—a discipline focused on managing enterprise-wide meeting and event processes to achieve measurable business objectives aligned with organizational goals. Developed by seasoned experts in travel, procurement, and meetings, this course equips participants with the skills and knowledge to develop, deploy, and sustain a Strategic Meetings Management Program (SMMP). Through a combination of real-world insights and practical tools, learners will gain a deep understanding of how to contain costs, mitigate risk, manage data, implement technology, and ensure high-quality service delivery. Participants will explore six key modules covering the fundamentals of SMM, stakeholder engagement, strategic design, policy alignment, value definition, and future-focused execution strategies. This module was created in collaboration with Cvent and the GBTA Meetings & Events Committee.
