Report Updated 25th February 2021
Swift Digital today released updated primary research into the Australia Events market, its reaction to COVID-19 and when organisations expect to restart in-person events.
When asked on 15 February 2021, most, indeed over 40%, surveyed Australian Event Managers expected to return to face to face events within weeks.
This is up dramatically from just 15% expecting to return in the same period when asked on 7 December 2020.
“The imminent rollout of COVID-19 vaccines combined with the very low case numbers in Australia appear to have dramatically raised Event Manager confidence in the last 60 days.” says Poochee Yuen, CEO of Swift Digital. “In December 2020 most Event Managers were not expecting a return until Q1 2022. Now, most expect a return in just weeks.”
25th February 2021
As part of our updated research back in December 2020, we asked Event Managers again, “When is the earliest you would be confident booking and planning in-person events?”
Event Manager confidence in a return to face to face events has collapsed further in just the last 30 days.
