On April 3, 2025, we’re joining industry professionals worldwide in celebrating Global Meetings Industry Day (GMID)—a day dedicated to recognizing the profound impact of business meetings, trade shows, conferences, and conventions on people, businesses, and communities.
Why Meetings Matter
Meetings aren’t just about gathering people in a room—they drive innovation, create lasting connections, and fuel economic growth. The meetings industry generates billions in travel spending, supports hundreds of thousands of jobs, and serves as a catalyst for business success across countless industries.

Saratoga County continues to thrive as a top-tier destination for meetings, conventions, and events. In 2024, Discover Saratoga helped bring 481 meetings, conferences, and sporting events to the region, generating an estimated $67.5 million in economic impact.
