NSA Partners with CIC to Promote Meetings NSA recently committed funding to partner with the Convention Industry Council (CIC) to create a messaging campaign that promotes the value and strengthens the business case of conventions and face-to-face meetings. CIC is spearheading this half-million dollar effort, and hired PricewaterhouseCoopers to conduct research to support development of the message. NSA will keep members apprised of this effort, which is being underwritten by a variety of CIC industry partners.
