Help to provide your fellow event planners with a valuable resource for the event planning community. The more answers we get, the more accurate the survey will be.

We’ll compile and publish the results to answer some important questions about our industry, like:

• Which marketing channels are being most utilized by event planners?

• What is the highest spend of event planners’ budget?

• What are the biggest pain points when planning an event?

• How do most event planners learn about trends in the field?

Not only will we present the results, but we’ll analyze them to gain a better understanding of what is and isn’t working in the event planning community. This will help organizers like you, to avoid making proven mistakes and to focus on the projects that are shown to work.

The survey itself takes only a few minutes to complete. Take the Survey Here.
