The biggest change we’re experiencing in meetingand event planning is …
“We are experiencing increased demand for sustainable meeting solutions; flight disruptions due to unusual weather and personnel issues; increased demand for regional support of organizations’ global-meetings portfolio (continued consolidation); increased costs for fuel, hotels, and food; continued demand for digital solutions; and an unprecedented volume of events with very short lead times. MCI steps up to the challenge by having solutions ready to mitigate these circumstances.”
