Certified Meeting Professional (CMP)

MPI is a proud supporter of the Convention Industry Council’s Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) Program.

MPI assists your preparation for this important career milestone in several ways:

• The MPI CMP Online Study Guide is a focused and flexible program designed to support preparation for the CMP exam. Additional details on the program and an introductory overview presentation can be found online at the MPI CMP Online Study Guide home page.
  
  
• If you are currently preparing for the CMP exam you may want to consider participating in a CMP study group offered by many MPI chapters. A complete listing of MPI chapters with designated chapter contact names and contact information is available online.
  
  
• If you plan to study independently, most of the recommended reference materials are available through the MPI Store. Visit the online MPI Store to purchase the materials.

How is the CMP different from the CMM?

The Certificate in Meeting Management (CMM) in no way affects the status of the Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) designation. In a totally non-competitive posture, the CMM is structured to complement the CMP designation. Whereas the CMP is more tactical in nature, the CMM focuses on strategic initiatives and executive decision-making.
