The Event Workforce survey has been designed to get a clearer picture of the size and scope of the events sector in the UK together with a better understanding of the current roles and responsibilities. Building on the work already completed around the SIC and SOC codes, the outputs from this survey will aid development of the professional standards at the kick off meeting on 19 August at ACC Liverpool. In addition the outputs will further enhance the recognition of events as a professional sector with a strong voice in the UK Economy as a whole.
