Meeting Architecture is the discipline concerned with objective based design, execution and measurement of content and format of meetings and events.
The term Meeting Architecture was first defined in the book “Meeting Architecture, a manifesto” by Maarten Vanneste in 2008.
It was further developed into The Meeting Architecture white paper through a collaborative effort by almost 40 meetings industry opinion leaders in Europe and USA.
The paper introduces
Project Meeting Architecture which has these objectives:

- To secure funding for the further development of Meeting Architecture as a discipline, including a curriculum to be implemented through industry and university educational programmes.
- To support the profession of Meeting Architecture through conceptual models and practical case studies.
