Economy effects on the meeting planning business

March 2, 2009 12:42 by nic

Last month Meeting Professionals International reported that through an international survey, meeting planners are expecting a 9 percent decrease in the quantity of meetings they will hold this year. Responses from 2,740 corporate, association and government meeting professionals in 53 countries, conclude that the meeting planning industry cancelled 8 percent of their scheduled meetings in the second half of 2008. As we have seen in the past year, businesses nationwide are rapidly downsizing and cutting costs though any means necessary. My question is, why risk your business's productivity in this downturn? The show must go on, and arguably the most critical point to running that show is the communication factor that is necessary and achievable by meeting face to face.

At eVenues, we are addressing this problem and our goal is to provide a solution that will match your personal or business meeting space needs with the thousands of meeting space owners out there. Come in, book a space, save some money and get back to business as usual.
