Welcome to WhyMeetingsMatter.org
Meetings Matter is an international campaign between the National Speakers Association (NSA) and the Global Speakers Federation (GSF), to reinforce the message, that contrary to media and political backlash, Meetings Matter. Meetings develop leaders and a workforce ready to invent a profitable future for America and countries around the world and help drive a vibrant and productive economy.
Meetings Matter is the international speaking profession's contribution to the coalition efforts of meetings industry partners.
Past NSA and GSF President, Terry Paulson, CSP, CPAE, PhD, further explains why Meetings Matter in the video above. Click here to view additional videos about why Meetings Matter.
This campaign matters because it is the international speaking community's effort to remind people of the true nature of meetings. Meetings are not frivolous like they've been portrayed to to be, they are vital to the education of workforces all over the world and generate over one million jobs in the United States alone.
Joe Calloway, CSP, CPAE, & Joe Malarkey, CSP, CPAE, give an intersting perspective on the state of the meetings industry.
