A skills survey of the business events sector, coordinated by Meetings & Events Australia (MEA) in partnership with the Australian Association of Convention Bureaux and the Exhibition & Events Association of Australasia (EEAA), has found that critical skills gaps are considerably impacting the business events industry.
With a significant survey response rate of 39 per cent, one in two respondents reported that the current skills shortage affects their organisation’s ability to recruit high calibre events professionals. Additionally, this is primarily driven by a lack of candidate experience, high salary expectations and an overall shortage of candidates.
