Reach 2,000 Government Meeting & Event Planners with Society of Government Meeting Professionals

Members include professionals who plan and organize government-sponsored meetings — typically employed by federal, state, or local agencies — as well as external “contract planners” hired by those agencies. Society of Government Meeting Professionals (SGMP) represents professionals who plan, manage, or supply services for government‑related meetings — including planners working for federal, state, or local agencies, contracted planners, and hospitality/meeting‑service suppliers — totaling nearly 2,000 members across 18 chapters and 3 satellite chapters. Founded in 1981, SGMP provides education, training (including the Certified Government Meeting Professional, or CGMP), resources, networking, and a national conference to help members plan legally compliant, cost‑effective government meetings. For media buyers or advertisers, SGMP offers access to a niche, decision‑making audience with predictable budgets and professional event‑planning activities — making sponsors and advertisers visible to a well‑defined, high‑intent group that regularly organizes meetings and conferences.
