The Latest


• M-Plus Global Events is the new name of what was formerly Morris Murdock LLC, founded in 1958 as Murdock Travel in Salt Lake City, Utah, which has been built through partnerships and acquisitions in the past few years. This is the first year the company is appearing on the CMI 25 list. In 2021, Morris Murdock, now M-Plus Global Events, acquired a minority ownership in TMN Events (Boise, Id.) and ADI Meetings and Events (Kansas City, Mo., and Phoenix, Ariz.). That year, M-Plus acquired Salt Lake City-based Columbus Travel, which has corporate incentive travel, leisure travel, and escorted group tour divisions. M-Plus already owned 49 percent of Miami-based A-Plus Meetings and Incentives and acquired the remaining stock in early 2022. Also in 2022, M-Plus acquired IME Connect, Parsippany, N.J.

The biggest change we’re experiencing in meeting and event planning is …

“the increased need for in-person interaction due to the shift toward ‘work from home’ at our client companies. This implies a need for more national and regional meetings with more networking time built into the agenda.”
