The 2016 edition of the Convention Industry Council (CIC) Industry Glossary is now available for purchase.
“As the industry evolves, so does the terminology. Updating the Glossary was a necessary step in improving the resources we offer,” said Convention Industry Council CEO, Karen Kotowski CAE, CMP.“We are proud of this collaborative project that used industry experts and our CMP community.”
The CIC Glossary is recognized as one of the most comprehensive guides to terminology in the industry. More than 150 CMP volunteers contributed to the update. They were lead by APEX Standards Committee Members Gary Murakami CTC, GLP, GTP, CMP of MGM Resorts International and Carol Norfleet CMP, DMCP of Destination Nashville.
With approximately 1,400 terms defined, the Glossary is a key reference for the specialized terminology and acronyms used throughout the convention industry. Notable additions to the 2016 version include a British/English Style Guide and an Appendix on Bandwidth Terms.
The convention industry glossary serves as part of recommended CMP Study Materials, and serves as a resource for industry professionals and students.
