International Meetings & Incentives (Gray Consulting, Inc.) today
announced that it has been named to the first annual “CMI 25”
List of the industry's largest and most influential full-service
independent meeting and incentive travel management
companies focused on the corporate market. Compiled by Penton
Media's Corporate Meetings & Incentives® magazine, the leading
information source for the $40.3 billion corporate meetings and events industry, the CMI 25 provides an essential resource for corporate executives and meeting professionals seeking partners for outsourcing all or parts of their programs. The CMI 25 appears in the September issue of Corporate Meetings & Incentives and is available on the Web at www.meetingsnet.com.
“The CMI 25 list represents the leading companies in the industry, based on extensive research by our staff,” said Barbara Scofidio, editor of Corporate Meetings & Incentives.
