serves a critical role in driving economic and social progress. Events are a catalyst for meaningful change. Across industry sectors, organisations and individuals all gain in ways that are fundamental to advancement, innovation and adaptation to a changing world.</p> <p>Since 2017, the Events Industry Council has partnered with Oxford Economics to conduct a study on the global economic significance of business events. This is unprecedented research that could only be accomplished through the collaborative efforts of the public and private sectors to qualify the value, influence, and impact that business events produce throughout the world. It further enables this dynamic industry to benchmark its current contributions and track its future growth.</p> <p id="economic"><img alt="Economic Significance of Events" class="img-full-width" src="/portals/0/economic%20signficance%20of%20events_1.jpeg" title="Economic Significance of Events" /></p> <h2 id="global">2023 Global Economic Significance of Business Events Study</h2> <p>For the 2023 Global Economic Significance of Business Events Study, EIC — in partnership with Oxford Economics — evaluated the full scope and economic significance of the $1.6 trillion USD global business events industry. Beyond better understanding pre-pandemic benchmarks and 2020 losses, the extensive research analysis across 50 countries includes the important “catalytic” effects or wide-reaching benefits of business events.</p> <p>Results of existing economic impact studies were integrated to model global business events volume and direct spending in 2019, from which estimates from 2020 through 2025 were generated.</p> <p>An Executive Summary for the 2023 Study is available below. Access to the full report is available to EIC members, partners and research funders for free by contacting <a href="mailto:info@eventscouncil.org">info@eventscouncil.org</a>.</p> <p><a class="btn btn-primary button btn-center" href="https://online.flippingbook.com/view/797260527/" role="button">Executive Summary</a></p> <p>Access to the Full Report can be purchased for US $295.
