Notes of the meeting of the Outdoor Events Group which took place on 12th February 2025.

The Business of Events has released its 2023 International Planner Sentiment Report. The report illustrates the current thinking of event buyers from a range of disciplines across the UK, Europe and North America in terms of their priorities when selecting a destination or venue.

An audience comprising corporate, association and agency planners were surveyed over a two-week period during the May 2023. The questions were focused on those areas which planners considered to be important when selecting a destination or major venue in the current environment.

Report published in March 2023 by the Business Travel Association (BTA) based on analysis from CBI Economics, detailing the value business travel provides to the UK economy.
