Employment of meeting, convention, and event planners is projected to grow 7 percent from 2018 to 2028, faster than the average for all occupations. Demand for professionally planned meetings and events is expected to remain steady as businesses and organizations continue to host events regularly.
For organizations with multiple locations, meetings are the only time they can bring everyone together. Despite the spread of online communication, face-to-face interaction remains important.
