Experient Named to Second Annual CMI 25 List

by Corporate Meetings & Incentives Magazine

Twinsburg, OH – Experient, the source for integrated meeting and event solutions, announced today that it has been named to the second 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 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 www.meetingsnet.com. 

“The CMI 25 list represents the leading companies in the industry, based on extensive research by our staff,” says Barbara Scofidio, editor of Corporate Meetings & Incentives. “As outsourcing of meeting and incentive travel program planning becomes increasingly important to corporate America, the CMI 25 have become the ‘go-to’ service providers for executives in many sectors.” 

The magazine’s editors selected CMI 25 companies based on several factors, including the number of meetings and incentive travel programs managed in 2007 and the total number of room nights represented by those meetings and incentives. They also evaluated the number of full-time employees at each company as well as the percentage of the company’s revenues that came from organizing corporate meetings and incentives versus association meetings or other sources. 

“We are committed to providing our corporate event customers with services that help them increase efficiency in event-related areas across their enterprise while controlling spending,” says Brad Weaber, Experient executive vice president and chief customer officer. “The unmatched collection of services and expertise offered by Experient such as our strategic meetings management program, EM^2™, makes us the ideal choice as a corporate event partner. We are very proud that Corporate Meetings & Incentives has recognized us as a leader for the second year in a row.”
