Industry Predicted to Hold Its Own in 2010

According to a study of event planners conducted by Special Events magazine, the industry is optimistic about the dawn of a new decade.

When forecasting 2010 event activity, some 84 percent of respondents say they expect to stage the same number of events or even more in 2010 compared with 2009. And while 29 percent will have bigger budgets to work with in 2010 versus 2009, an equal number will be stuck with this year's budget allocation, and the rest will have even less money to work with.
