The hard-copy of the Event Industry Summit (EIS) outcomes makes for interesting reading as the objectives allowed the top venues, independent planners together with several various end-users/buyers, from primarily the corporate market, to debate whether planners should have standards.
All sectors did not hesitate in pinpointing the serious need to explore a minimum set of planning practices.ย Added to the planner consensus were the challenges faced by the MICE industry which ranged from: quality of students, health and safety issues, financial risks, procurement interfaces, venue standards and event management companies operating methods.
The salaried event managers were in support of an ongoing series of dialogues with the MICE suppliers and services.ย The first in a series of Consensus Conversations will take place on Friday 29th January at Hackle Brooke.
