    We're thrilled to bring you the latest insights for 2024 with the PULSE, a collaboration with Northstar Meetings Group, where we surveyed over 400 event professionals in North America. Dive into real-time insights revealing the bustling activity within the planning community this year – what are you thinking and doing in 2024? Turns out, you're busier than ever with more events, but you're still juggling higher costs and finding space while making the most of your event technology.

    • 46% plan to boost spending on meetings/event tech and tech support compared to last year.
    • 80% are securing new business bookings six months to one year in advance.
    • 65% of planners are actively involved in planning, sourcing, or researching international meetings, events, and/or incentive programs in Europe.

    1. Are you looking to increase spend on meetings and event tech this year? Yes - meeting costs keep increasing so we have to increase it.
    2. How far out are you securing new business bookings? We are looking at securing October 2027 at the moment as well as beginning site visits for 2028 and 2029
    3. Are you planning any international events in Europe?  Not at the moment, but as a third-party planner it's not out of the realm of possibilities
