As lockdown starts to ease in the UK, what people are willing to do and are comfortable with is still very much decided by how each individual feels towards the risks of the virus.  The event industry has been one of the most affected by the virus, and as we come to normalise a world in which the virus may be present, the way we socialise and celebrate may continue to be affected for a long time to come. This means that we will need to look at adapting the way the hospitality and event industry is run instead of waiting for things to get better. Focusing on the positives, the event industry is a highly desired industry with demand still for events and meetings being requested across the UK.

You rallied the troops. You bought a new outfit. You planned your evening. But… it’s been cancelled.

Well, think again. So many artists and companies have thrown out the rule book and are still putting on concerts – virtually!

The Events Planning industry is valued at roughly £42 billion – not bad, right? It’s worth so much that a mind-bending 35% of UK visitor economy is due to the events industry. So, it’s safe to say that there is and always will be demand for Events Planners in a vast array of industries.

An Events Planner’s primary role is, of course (shock incoming), planning events. Delving a bit deeper than just ‘planning events’, you’ll be involved in defining and managing the budget, booking venues and vendors, acquiring any permits etc. among many, many more tasks. This is dependent on the industry or company you are working for as every event will have different requirements.
