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.

HBAA, the trade association for the UK meetings, events and accommodation industry, is calling on event planners to be flexible with venues on service-level agreements (SLAs) whilst the sector works towards recovery.
“HBAA strongly believes that every industry hit by staff shortages should unite to press the government for visa flexibility, “says Juliet Price, Consultant Executive Director of HBAA, when announcing the association’s support for a Confederation of British Industries (CBI) call to relax Brexit immigration rules to address this issue.
