Print this Article | Send to Colleague

Feedback Systems and Michelle Hatch, Hatch Marketing & Communications, have compiled the 2014 Meeting Planning Professionals Survey e-Report, which is available for download here. The goal of the survey was to gain a better understanding of current conditions within the "large meeting" marketplace.

Four key findings came out of the 2014 survey:
•   The industry is ripe for logistics innovation to address meeting planners' biggest challenges.
•   Attendance growth is stagnant and expected to decline over the next three years.
•   The majority of respondents report a high level of repeat attendance.
•   While the majority of attendees book within the hotel block, out-of-block bookings can be costly.
