micebook has partnered with Destination Canada to discover the key trends impacting international event planning and destination choice in 2023. And we want your perspective on what’s next for MICE travel!

By collectively harnessing the power of knowledge, we can make informed decisions and provide you with even more remarkable insights for the future. As a thank you micebook will enter each submission into a prize draw for the chance to win a £250 Amazon Voucher!!

Are budgets up or down? Is long-haul travel back in vogue? What destinations are popular right now? And to what extent is sustainability impacting on decision making, or does cost still come first?

That’s what we want to find out with your help! Please take a few minutes to answer the survey below

We will be publishing the results later in the year as part of wider research piece, delving into what drives event decision making in key industry sectors including finance, manufacturing, life sciences and technology.

Destination Canada will also be hosting an event in London in partnership with micebook in November, during which we will be sharing some of the key highlights from the research. Event planners that take part in the survey will have the opportunity to register their interest to attend the event.
