I organise events for a corporate in the finance sector and my event spend is restricted due to restrictions put on the value in USD of gifts both given and received by our company and most of our clients. The strength of the Aussie dollar and the perception of spending too much in a post-GFC climate means I have to make a little stretch a long way.

We received an alarming email from a business event practitioner this week who told us that corporate clients appear to be getting tough when it comes to booking services relating to meeting and event management, wanting more for less. To that end, we thought we'd put the feelers out there to find whether this is being experienced across the board. Are corporate clients reducing their budgets? As such, are your margins slipping? Has the business event sector had it too good for too long? Has the business event sector been poor in promoting the value of its services to clients? And what of the corporate market? If you work in a corporate environment are you cutting costs? And if so, why?
