Twice a week, this Briefing will be updating you with the latest news and updates coming out of the event industry—find out about the new initiatives, products, refurbs and openings in the MICE market.
Plus, we will provide the latest information on government relief and support for the industry.
We’ve also heard anecdotal news from our sister media outlet, Executive PA Media, that their audience of Executive Assistants has been busy this week rescheduling their events and meetings, rather than cancelling altogether—which strongly suggests business is still there.

“We’ve had lots of people phone about their events, but 80-90 percent are postponing, not cancelling.”
