Nominate a 2026 Meetings Trendsetter!

Meetings Today's annual Meetings Trendsetters list recognizes 20 outstanding individuals who have made an outsized impact in the meetings, events, conventions and incentives industry.

Our Meetings Trendsetters are chosen through nominations from our audience of meeting and event professionals along with input from the Meetings Today editorial team and former Trendsetters winners.

"We strive to go a bit outside of the box to select meetings industry professionals from a wide range of industry roles (i.e., planners, suppliers, educators, etc.), as well as those just gaining steam in their careers," said Meetings Today's Vice President and Chief Content Director Tyler Davidson.

If you missed your chance to nominate a Trendsetter for our 2025 list, don't worry—you can now submit your nominations for our future 2026 Trendsetters down below. 

We aim to honor these outstanding individuals in our July/August 2026 issue! Be sure to submit your nominations by June 19, 2026.
