“Climate Cancer.” PCMA’s Sherrif Karamat Doesn’t Mince Words

The world is very, very sick, as its climate is increasingly
spiraling to doom. The meetings and events industry is
particularly vulnerable to what we call "climate change." But the
very term climate change doesn't convey the need for urgency
because of the potentially catastrophic diagnosis for the planet,
according to PCMA President & CEO Sherrif Karamat, who uses
the provocative term "climate cancer."


Meetings Today's Tyler Davidson caught up with Karamat at IMEX
America to expand on his dire diagnosis for the meetings and
events industry and the planet itself, as well as his thoughts as
the incoming chair of the Events Industry Council and happenings
at PCMA, including the January 2023 Convening Leaders conference
in Columbus, Ohio.
