10.06.2014 - Signs of recovery

The International Special Events Society (ISES) has released its Global Business Survey, which reveals strong growth across all sectors of the events industry. The survey, conducted during March 2014 to the 5,500 ISES members in the US, Canada, UK, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Australasia, shows the general level of business confidence as being very high both in terms of projected agency and supplier sales growth and direct client spending on events. Headline findings from the report are: 78% of those surveyed expect business to grow during 2014/15; 18% expect business to remain the same. Commenting on the findings in the report, Brian Acheson CSEP, ISES International President, said: "This survey shows that the event industry is continuing to recover, not just locally but globally, and that there is a very strong demand for event products and services across all sectors with both supplier sales and client spending increasing at a fast pace.” (ank)
