The company's scale is anchored by managing over $500 million in annual travel and hospitality spend and booking over 100,000 hotel room nights per year, providing supplier negotiating leverage. MGME has earned recognition on MeetingsNet's CMI 25 list for 16+ consecutive years and Inc. 5000 in 2020 (No. 382) and 2024 (No. 3,531).
