CERTIFIED GOVERNMENT MEETING PROFESSIONAL (CGMP) CERTIFICATION
The Certified Government Meeting Professionals’ Certification Training course is designed to provide training for the government meeting professional whose work is governed by the rules and regulations of the federal, state and local government. Through discussion and practice, you will be introduced to the agencies that write policy related government events, and learn where to find answers to your questions.
This is a very intense three-day training. It is recommended that participants are dedicated to these three days to attend and participate fully in the classroom activities. Depending on your study habits and testing skills, it may be necessary to spend evenings reviewing the day’s materials in order to prepare for the exam. Informal study groups are recommended during the three-day program.
The content and agenda for this course assumes that you have worked in the meetings management industry for at least one year and have a basic knowledge of industry terminology and acronyms. This course will cover the process of managing and coordinating your meeting and introduce the travel regulations and ethics that govern your events.
You will receive a training manual to facilitate a three-day program. Materials covered in the examination will be found in this manual or discussed in class. This course teaches recognized industry practices cited in the Convention Industry Manual (CIC), and other relevant industry guides. The CIC Manual will be provided and serve as the reference guide used for this course. The participant is not expected to memorize the content of the CIC manual but to use it as a resource.

To be eligible to take the CGMP Certification Training course, you must have been a current member of SGMP for at least 6 months prior to date of the training course date. To retain your CGMP certification you must keep your SGMP membership current. You must re-certify every three years.
