$48,073 spent$121,233 earned by the program7% of program spendingEvents - leading meetings industry membership associations have come together to fund and publicize a study to quantify the meetings industry's significance to the u.s. Economy. This research is part of eic's mission to prove the profound value of the collective industry to regulators and legislators who are making decisions and taking actions that negatively impact the nation without a full understanding of what is at stake. The economic study is not an annual project. In addition, the eic's sustainability initiative seeks to inspire, educate and support leaders of all levels and disciplines who will manifest the transformation of the global meetings industry towards sustainability.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $1.3M to $876k (−33%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
53% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund EVENTS INDUSTRY COUNCIL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2021 41% · 2022 100% — broadly stable.
