The 2014 'UK Events Market Trends Survey' (UKEMTS) research is a major research project, now in its 21st consecutive year.  It provides volume and key trends data for the UK conference and business events market from a supply-side or venue perspective. The research was undertaken on behalf of EVCOM by Tony Rogers Conference & Event Services and TEAM Tourism. 413 venues took part in the 2014 study, 11.8 per cent of the universe of 3,500 primary venues used as the basis for the research. The number of reporting venues was significantly higher than in 2013 when 224 venues participated.
