The Top 7 Event Industry Trends for 2024

Suggesting that the event industry has changed significantly in the past five years would be an understatement.

We’ve seen it everything, really: from budgets overflowing in 2019 and essentially stagnant activity in 2020 to hybrid events becoming more popular in 2021, business as usual in 2022, and inflationary pressure forcing companies to reevaluate their budgets in 2023.

We anticipate that this rate of fast transformation will only continue, possibly even accelerating, as 2024 draws near. Our very own Will Curran, Head of Klik, convened seven luminaries in the event experience space for a webinar to discuss what the event business has in store for 2019.
