Professional accreditation
Industry accreditation at IMEX Frankfurt
Education at IMEX can help you secure industry accreditation. Many education sessions offer points toward Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) accreditation.
We also offer ICCASkills-accredited and ILEA CSEP-approved education.
EIC CMP-accredited education at IMEX
We are approved as a Preferred Provider by the Events Industry Council (EIC). The majority of our education sessions qualify for CMP continuing education credits.
The value of the credits (clock hours) you gain for each session is based on session length and rounded up to the nearest 15 minutes.
Keep a log of the sessions you attend and how many clock hours you want to claim for. After you’ve attended IMEX, self-certificate your attendance on the EIC website to claim these. Clock hours can also be used for recertification.
Find out more about EIC on the Events Industry Council website.
ILEA CSEP-approved education at IMEX
A select number of education sessions at IMEX are Certified Special Events Professional (CSEP) Approved. If you're a first-time applicant to the certification you can use what you’ve learnt from our education program to prepare for the exam.
You don’t need to report or verify your attendance unlike points-based accreditations.
By attending CSEP-approved IMEX sessions, you can continue your professional education, prepare for your accreditation or contribute to your recertification.
