The events industry grew significantly in the past 2 decades and has become a robust economic force. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the event planner profession is expected to grow 10% by 2024 — a faster rate than the average growth rate for all occupations. Studies in 2016 show that about 18 million events and meetings are organized in the U.S. every year, generating $280 billion in spending and $66.8 billion in labor income. The events industry is now worth £42.3 billion in the UK, and constitutes 5% of the economic growth in Dubai. Events play an important role in economic development and social well-being, and can help achieve other business objectives like community cohesion, branding appreciation and corporate reputation improvement.
