Venue Performance’s April data indicates a slight market softening, but there’s no need to panic. The year is still in growth mode, and surprisingly, the snap election, though disruptive to immediate schedules, could actually benefit the rest of the year, enabling everyone to ‘get on with it’ rather than second-guessing when the election might be.
It might even push some business from July into the summer (fallow) months, and with the economy projected to turn positive in the second half of the year, Venue Performance are confident that 2024 will be pretty good. The optimism continues into 2025.
On June 27th, at the Bankside Hotel in London, Peter Heath will co-host The Great M&E Debate. This event will be spicy, fun, interactive, and educational. During the event, all the key M&E topics will be debated (three debates in total) with powerful moderators, expert panellists, and a throng of senior commercial leaders in the room asking challenging questions – 100 to be precise.
Peter is offering 20 places to senior leaders of the VP community to join the throng and get involved. The audience will vote on the debated topics, and your participation will be central to the event’s outcome.
If you’re interested in attending, please fill out this form, and one of the team members will contact you with more details.
