Just over five years since we launched our micebook talks virtual sessions to keep the industry connected and educated during the Covid-19 Pandemic, we’re bringing it back to tackle the topic of Trump and his tariffs, and the impact they are having on the events sector not just in the U.S. but across the globe.
If you’re concerned about what is happening in the U.S., or have noticed any specific or worrying challenges or consequences you’d like to share, join us next Wednesday 2nd April at 3pm and be part of the conversation.
“The conversations at industry events today echo those of five years ago — discussions about a disruptive force that seems distant and unlikely to have a real impact. Yet, the evidence is mounting. From the cancellation of large-scale global events to reports of event staff being removed for actively “operating” rather than simply overseeing, the ripple effects are undeniable,” said micebook CEO Chetan Shah.
“While some may dismiss this as mere industry noise, the reality is that the impact is already being felt. Uncertainty breeds hesitation, and for stakeholders, even a hint of instability can lead to stalled investments, postponed projects, and outright cancellations. In a sector where confidence drives growth, we cannot afford to underestimate these signals. Addressing concerns proactively and fostering resilience will be essential to navigating the challenges ahead.”
