THE INAUGURAL EDITION OF THE JOURNAL IS NOW LIVE
Launched at the Hosts and Federations Summit in Lausanne, with 150+ pages of knowledge-led insight from the 50 people shaping global major events.
No conventional advertising, just the industry in its own words sharing knowledge and insights from years of experience.
20 YEARS CONNECTING THE PEOPLE WHO DELIVER MAJOR EVENTS
MEI was founded to close the gap between cities, federations, rights holders and suppliers, so events get delivered with less risk, better outcomes and stronger careers for the people behind them. The Journal puts that mission on the page: every article written by an industry leader, for their peers, with, as CEO Dennis Mills puts it, “content being knowledge led.”
