Please note urgent request regarding the state of our Industry survey, for the whole events and experiences ecosystem. The One Industry One Voice survey will help industry trade associations and campaigns gather and share consistent evidence of the impact of Covid-19 on the UK events industry, the impact of Government support and where further support is needed. The evidence that is generated will establish a cornerstone for all industry campaign efforts, so please do not underestimate the value of your time helping to distribute this and encouraging participation. Please encourage your members to respond to this survey by MONDAY 30th NOVEMBER (DEADLINE EXTENDED). Link is https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/VYNPD3J
