2023 Event Forecast and Trends

1/14/2023

 
MBD Marketing & Events has been in the industry for over 16 years and has seen A LOT in our time. Analyzing what we have booked this year, what our clients are talking about, what we are learning in the courses we take, and reading what our industry partners have to say.... here is what you can expect from meetings and events in 2023.
Picture
2023 Event Forecast and Trends

Colorado’s economy is expected to continue growing in 2023 — slowly. This is good news. Colorado’s economy is expected to grow slightly in 2023 — by a little over 1 percent, and inflation is predicted to drop to 4.6 percent according to the December economic forecast from Legislative Council Staff, the state’s nonpartisan fiscal analysts. While we may see some hesitation to spend big in some areas of business... economic growth helps with consumer confidence.

​Meeting professionals expect in-person events and budgets to increase in 2023, according to American Express Meetings & Events.

The 12th annual Global Meetings & Events Forecast found that more than three quarters (77 per cent) of respondents are optimistic about the health of the industry heading into 2023 (rating eight or above out of 10) – a six-point increase compared to last year’s survey. ​And when it comes to budgets, just under two thirds (65 per cent) said that overall M&E spend is increasing for 2023.
​
Picture
MBD engages closely with Cvent and always anticipates their annual report.
​
Below are ​Cvent’s 14 Meeting & Event Trends for 2023

Trend 1 – Planners are not only planning more meetings, they anticipate a surge in future bookings.
Trend 2 – There’s a renewed focus on return on time/experience/investment for attendees, especially as costs increase.
Trend 3 – Social activism will play a big role in how meetings are planned.
Trend 4 – Hotels need to adapt to “a triple threat” (in-person, hybrid and virtual).
Trend 5 – Event planners will refocus on and prioritize health and wellness activities.
Trend 6 – Planners are choosing leisure destinations more frequently, perhaps even over metro centers.
Trend 7 – Virtual reality is no longer just for video games. It may soon make event planning easier and more efficient.
Trend 8 – Google’s shift away from third-party cookies will impact online advertising strategies.
Trend 9 – Smaller meetings may increasingly become a preferred option, especially for luxury events.
Trend 10 – Special events will increasingly become multiday celebrations.
Trend 11 – In-person meetings are a vital part of maintaining and rebuilding workplace culture.
Trend 12 – Reaching event planners with influencer marketing and placing additional emphasis on video content will become more common.
Trend 13 – An increased focus on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the meetings and events industry.
Trend 14 – New planners increasingly seek out special venues, outdoor events and unique settings.
​
Colorado is especially well-suited for trends 5, 6, 10, and 14 when working with planners seeking health and wellness activities, leisure destinations, multiday offerings, and unique/outdoor settings. Diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) also is at the forefront.

Meetings + Events Magazine predicts significant meeting & event recovery in 2023.  

​As reporting just weeks ago, in an update to its U.S. Meetings Recovery Forecast (MRF) released late last year, Knowland predicts that 2023 will be a year of growth and not just another year of recovery. The company, known for providing data insights on meetings and events for the hospitality industry, also offered an updated Top 25 U.S. Meetings Recovery Forecast (MRF25).

Knowland added the MRF25 in February 2022 examine industry recovery patterns for the top 25 U.S. markets. These cities include Anaheim, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Norfolk, Oahu Island, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, Tampa, and Washington, D.C.
Picture
Meeting Professionals International (MPI) has released their Fall 2022 Meetings Outlook report that indicates that many meeting professionals are reporting their business is back to pre-pandemic levels. However, rising costs and insufficient resources (both staff and budgets) are expected to be trends in 2023.

Price hikes have hit virtually every area of the industry, with 64% of planners and suppliers calling it a seller’s market. As a result, 78% are seeking new revenue opportunities for their meetings and events.
While 65% expect their budgets to increase in 2023, the growth likely won’t keep pace with rising costs.
Staffing is still an issue, with 62% of survey respondents indicating they are still having trouble filling staff vacancies.

A year ago, only 3% or respondents said their business levels had returned to pre-pandemic levels. Now, 32% indicate full recovery with 31% implying it will happen sometime in 2023 and the remaining 37% in 2024 or later. Great news!

Annual Director's Retreat in Breckenridge

12/7/2017

 
Picture
What an amazing ride it's been with this fantastic group of women with WIFE TALK!

For nearly a year we worked with the inspired Directors of Wife Talk, a fast growing non-profit. Their goal was to have a relaxing, yet productive retreat up in the Colorado mountains.

While the Executive Team was based out of Atlanta, women traveled from all over the country to spend the long weekend up in Breck and take part in the Annual Director's Retreat!
Picture
Guests were greeted with friendly faces from the My Big Day team at check-in.  Wife Talk chose to host this event at the new Residence Inn by Marriott in Breckenridge.
Picture
Brie from the Breckenridge Tourism Office helped our guests prior to the retreat and upon check-in with booking activities and deciding upon the best way to spend their time while visiting!
Picture
Picture
Being a weekend after Thanksgiving, everyone was eager to shop downtown! While the My Big Day planners shopped, we had to make a stop at the Oxygen bar (O2 Lounge) to get some much needed air! With some pep in our step, we did some damage downtown and some dining too! We were thrilled to see tons of our guests out shopping and dining too!
Picture
The full day of sessions started off with some early risers, eager to to absorb - and of course with prayer!
Picture
More sessions and break-outs took place throughout the day. The hotel had wonderful accommodations and very helpful staff!
Picture
Lunch and dinner were provided by Gilchrist catering, a staple in Breck.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Of course, it wouldn't be a My Big Day event without signature cocktails and ample signage!
Picture
Thank you to our gracious clients from Wife Talk and for all the hospitable folks in Breckenridge who help make lodging and having fun easy!

For years My Big Day has been a trusted partner in event planning for corporations. We love the variety of customers we have, and the new challenges every conference, meeting, retreat and party can bring!

In 2017 SAFEbuilt is celebrating 25 years in business. They are a fast-growing company with passionate employees. 

With so much growth and a need to connect folks from all over the US, and put together relevant and useful content - My Big Day was brought in to organize details, manage presentations and overall content, assist with employee activities, oversee hotel meals, AV and operations - and the conference as a whole.
The 2017 conference was held at the world-leading Embassy Suites in Loveland, Colorado. Management traveled from all over the US to be part of this 4 day knowledge sharing, training and bonding retreat.

Below are some photos from Michelle Badger Photography.

We were thrilled to be the corporate event planners for this conference. Meetings, retreats, conventions, business luncheons - we love to plan it all!

Tips for Cancelling Your Big Day (Parties, Corporate events, Weddings, Meetings, Retreats, etc.)

10/9/2017

 

Tips for Cancelling Your Big Day (Parties, Corporate events, Weddings, Meetings, Retreats, etc.)

Picture
Having been in the planning business for over 20 years, we've experienced a thing or two when it comes to cancellations. Whether it's an illness, tragedy, weather related issue, or a 'life change'... we know how life can throw you curve-balls.

Below is a list our team came up with that EVERY event should use or at the very least consider when planning a large event.
Picture
Planning in Advance
  • Make sure your vendors will take calls and emails on weekends- and will respond.
  • Event insurance is an option. It comes in many forms that you can purchase online. We highly recommend it!
  • Read your contracts carefully. (For both vendors and insurance) What is their cancellation clause? Can you reschedule?
  • Have a document available with every vendor's phone number and email for emergency contacts. It doesn't hurt to have contact information for VIPs with your company or bridal party so that those who can make decisions are available to you.
  • Have multiple ways to contact you attendees. Keep a spreadsheet with emails and phone numbers for quick access. Or, if you have a website or social media page - keep it updated for your guests.
  • Consider the time of year you are planning. Look at past weather to predict future complications.
  • Always have a 'plan B' - for every element of your event.  Both postponing and cancellation.
  • Let's your guests know what you plan B is in the case of potential cancellation- that way there are no surprises.
  • Be aware of your surroundings. If you are holding a conference and need technical supplies, is there a store nearby that you could run to?  If you have a mountain wedding and your florist is in an accident, is there a flower shop nearby?
Picture
Post Mortem
  • Inform your vendors
  • Inform your guests
  • Contact your insurance company ASAP to get the paperwork rolling
  • Offer succinct, clear messaging
  • Can you reuse materials, sell decorations you purchased?
  • Breathe. This happens. Feel confident in your decision - don't second guess!


Next time - hire an event planner to manage all of the details, plan B's and emergencies!
