Live events are back! The event and hospitality industry was hit hard during the pandemic, but with the world starting to open up again, the demand for events and gatherings is expected to soar. What does this mean for event planning professionals? For 2023, the outlook for meeting and event planning careers looks very positive. There will be a need for planners who specialize in live events and have the skills to plan and execute large-scale events with safety protocols in place. You can be a part of the meeting and event planning world, with training from TISOH, the International School of Hospitality!
During the pandemic, there were many virtual events held on Zoom and other online platforms. The pandemic accelerated the trend of virtual and hybrid events, and this trend will continue to grow in 2023. As a result, event planners with experience in designing and executing both in-person and virtual events will be in high demand.
Sustainability has been a growing trend in the event industry for a while, but it is expected to take center stage in 2023. Event planners with experience in planning eco-friendly events will be in high demand.
The events industry will continue to see a rise in niche events catering to specific audiences and interests. There is also a continued trend towards smaller, more niche audiences and more regional events. This will open new opportunities for planners who specialize in certain types of events such as corporate, cultural or sustainable events.
Businesses and organizations have realized the importance of in-person meetings and events for building relationships, networking, and face-to-face interaction. As a result, there will be an increasing demand for face-to-face meetings, events and gatherings, and a subsequent increase in demand for meeting and event planners who can create and execute successful in-person events.
The return of meetings and events means that this huge sector of the hospitality industry will rely upon a talented body of professionals who are responsible for creating, organizing, and executing complex gatherings. At TISOH, the International School of Hospitality, we are at the forefront of developing and cultivating these event professionals.
