Meetings and Events Procurement Intelligence 2024-2030: Emerging Technologies

Procurement of meetings and events services involves the process of acquiring or finding suitable venues, arranging catering, securing audio-visual equipment, and hiring staff. The global market size was estimated at USD 812.4 billion in 2023. Business expansion efforts, networking opportunities, and the growing importance of face-to-face interactions in the digital age have created a demand for the services. The worldwide business environment is experiencing a significant shift in how companies conduct meetings, trade shows, seminars, and other gatherings. Changing lifestyles, professional practices, and social interactions have been fundamentally altered in recent years, resulting in a ripple effect that has generated fresh prospects within the industry.

Hybrid events are rapidly establishing themselves as the prevailing standard in the industry. Through a combination of both physical and virtual components, hybrid events are experiencing growth in the industry. Utilizing live streaming, organizers can broadcast the content of the meetings, including keynote addresses and panel discussions, to remote attendees who are unable to participate in person. The majority of gatherings and hospitality initiatives will remain anchored by in-person gatherings over the forecast period. Direct interactions offer greater potential for profound engagement, networking, and interaction, rendering them indispensable for businesses.

Theme-based gatherings are increasingly gaining traction as people seek enjoyable gatherings that promise distinct experiences. In 2023, one such instance was a show created by IMEX Group. The company, renowned for organizing the largest trade show for the global meetings, events, and incentive travel sector, chose "Human Nature" as the theme for its gatherings in Frankfurt and Las Vegas.

Order your copy of the Meetings and Events Procurement Intelligence Report, 2024 - 2030, published by Grand View Research, to get more details regarding day one, quick wins, portfolio analysis, key negotiation strategies of key suppliers, and low-cost/best-cost sourcing analysis

In 2023, there was a notable shift within the industry towards prioritizing sustainability and embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I). Numerous organizations have made public pledges in this regard and are now tasked with integrating sustainability objectives into the planning of their services. This includes decisions such as opting for destinations that prioritize sustainability and choosing venues that hold sustainability certifications. These efforts reflect a concerted push toward minimizing event emissions through comprehensive strategies and protocols.

Technological advancements such as gathering management software, AR, VR, AI chatbots, mobile applications, and facial recognition tools for streamlining security are making the gathering experience more realistic. As mobile applications become more interactive and personalized to individual preferences, participants will experience higher engagement and commitment levels, resulting in a more memorable and enriching experience overall. Although facial recognition technology faces privacy challenges, it is gaining traction for efficiently tracking conference attendees and simplifying check-in procedures. Its heightened security features surpass alternative digital check-in methods and contribute to addressing physical security apprehensions.

Email marketing, on the other hand, plays a vital role in the industry. It facilitates communication between organizers and attendees, promotes meetings, and shares crucial updates. Through email marketing, planners can craft tailored messages that connect with their audience, resulting in the success of the gathering. AI is a key technology in email marketing. It is exemplified by its integration with ChatGPT, which enables organizers to streamline email automation, enhancing personalization and efficacy for improved conversion rates. Overall, service providers are focused on providing the best experiences to the attendees with a smooth flow of the event, personalization, and integrating technologies to streamline workflows for the clients.

Staff salaries, venue costs, travel and accommodation, and marketing and advertising are some of the costs incurred in providing these services. Other costs include IT costs, food and beverage costs, printing branded elements (signage, banners, etc.), and staff training costs. The cost of the service depends on the scale of the gathering, the number of attendees, the venue, and other factors. Service providers usually adopt a cost-plus, fixed, or hourly pricing model.

As part of their procurement and sourcing strategy, clients including large corporations and organizations usually outsource their events to the organizers. By outsourcing event management, clients can benefit from a dedicated team that takes care of managing attendees, sending invitations, deciding venue themes, generating ideas, and other -related tasks.

Meetings and Events Sourcing Intelligence Highlights

• The supplier landscape in this industry consists of different types of service providers like venue providers, catering services, equipment rental companies, and technology providers. While there are many of these providers, the uniqueness of certain venues or specialized services can give these service providers some leverage. Hence, planning companies try to maintain long-term relationships with these service providers.

• The barrier to entry in the market can be moderate to high in terms of setting up an event planning business, employing high technology, and establishing a strong reputation and client base, which requires significant expertise. Existing companies may have established relationships with clients and venues, making it difficult for new entrants to gain a foothold.

• The market is fragmented, with the issue arising from the Standardized Industrial Code (SIC). As the businesses in the event industry are registered with the codes of other industries, there is a mismatch in SIC codes, which adds to further fragmentation in the industry.

• Staff salaries, venue costs, travel and accommodation, and marketing and advertisingare among the key costs incurred in providing services. Other costs include IT costs, food and beverage, printing branded elements, and staff training costs.

Should media planners ignore 13% of UK consumers who aren’t online?

As marketers our primary concern is ensuring that our advertising resonates with our audience, converts to sales and gives good ROI. 

Carmichael (2021a) describes the theory of the marking mix as an analogy using ingredients that work. Stating that like we see our perfect sandwich; every marketing structure needs a good strategy or in this case ingredients to make it great. The main ingredients we need to make a good strategy in marketing are “…product, price, placement and promotion…” (Carmichael, 2021a). In the context of the marketing mix, we will be exploring this question through the overarching theory of placement, with the idea of the advert being put in the right place at the right time for the consumer. 

With this theory in mind, if we were looking solely at an e-commerce business. Should media planners ignore the 13% of non-internet users? Yes. 

Lay (2024) Discusses how digital platforms and technology are great for targeting and measurement. She further iterates how digital media forms a strong basis for budgetary restrictions in the demand generation. Digital advertising to digital purchase is fast paced, it allows the consumer to have a smooth customer journey as they could click on the advert, and it automatically tracks them to the e-commerce website. For an e-commerce business we are needing consumers to purchase online, if we were to use traditional media to target the 13% of consumers, the advertising spend wouldn’t be warranted or give us ROI because that consumer wouldn’t be able to purchase, being a non-internet user. 

The internet has become the media planners playing ground and allowed for smaller budgets to be utilised across several platforms. Mossa (2011) explores this idea in detail stating that the internet allows for cost saving and greater reach allowing for business and product development opportunities. Further to this Mossa (2011) explores the idea of using e-commerce channels and believes it has given brands a greater way of building awareness. 

By using the internet as a functional tool, not only does the internet give a clear customer journey, but it also allows media planners to gather data allowing them to know exactly who to target their marketing too. By using data analysis Bryant (2023) argues that it helps media planners to segment their audience through demographic data, browsing history and purchase history. Ultimately, this allows a media planner scope to know the main audience that they should be targeting their marketing efforts towards, thus for a digital platform showing us that really, we should be targeting digital users. 

However, if we were to look at the retail travel sector. Where businesses are heavily reliant on consumer footfall going to physical stores, The answer to the question of should we ignore the 13% of non-internet users changes significantly to a resounding no!

Traditional media as described by Amimbola (2024) encompasses traditional methods of advertising to reach customers such as television, radio, print advertisements, digital screens on location…anything that was around before the advent of internet advertising. Traditional media still has a place in our society, particularly in physical retail/ hospitality outlets where we as marketers still need to reach our target audiences expectations. Lay (2024) further argues that traditional channels are more than likely to produce greater brand effects on location, and drive longer term sales growth, whilst also delivering on creativity and boosting emotional resonation to a brand, all of which still allow businesses to perform on their KPIs.

Arguably, traditional media is harder to measure in terms of ROI, we can’t see click through rates, or direct to purchase information, however we can see physical engagement and return custom. What we can’t drill down data wise is to who our exact target audience are, this is because everyone travels, therefore with retail-travel in mind using a mass-marketing approach as described by Sharp (2010) allows us to target both light and heavy buyers helping us to reinforce buying propensities and win new sales. 

I believe that media planners should understand their target audience and placement of their advertisements through channels that are relevant. If a brand is digital only and requires digital purchases, then targeting the 13% of non-internet users would seem a waste of targeted spend, However, if the brand uses a mass-marketing approach and has physical retail outlets, that the 13% of non-internet users could access, a media planner would be missing a great opportunity for sales conversion by excluding them.

Exploring the Growth Trajectory of the Latin America Bicycle Market

The Latin America bicycle market exhibited robust growth, reaching a valuation of USD 6.14 billion in 2023. With a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7% from 2024 to 2032, the market is anticipated to expand further, potentially reaching USD 9.28 billion by 2032. This article provides insights into the factors driving this growth, market trends, consumer behavior, and the evolving competitive landscape within the region's vibrant bicycle industry.

Factors Driving Market Growth

Shift Towards Sustainable and Active Lifestyles

The increasing awareness of environmental sustainability and health benefits associated with cycling is driving the demand for bicycles across Latin America. Governments and urban planners are promoting cycling as a sustainable mode of transportation, investing in infrastructure such as bike lanes and rental systems to encourage bicycle usage in cities. This trend is fostering a cultural shift towards active lifestyles and reducing carbon footprints, thereby boosting bicycle sales and adoption rates.

Rising Urbanization and Traffic Congestion

Urbanization trends and congested city traffic are motivating consumers to opt for bicycles as a practical and efficient mode of commuting. Bicycles offer a cost-effective solution to navigate through crowded urban areas, providing flexibility and agility compared to traditional modes of transportation. The demand for electric bicycles (e-bikes) is also rising, offering commuters an alternative that combines pedal power with electric assistance for enhanced convenience and reduced travel times.

Market Segmentation and Product Innovation

Diversity in Bicycle Types and Accessories

The Latin America bicycle market is diverse, catering to a wide range of consumer preferences and cycling needs. Mountain bikes, road bikes, hybrid bikes, and commuter bicycles are among the popular segments, each designed to meet specific terrain and riding conditions. Manufacturers are focusing on product innovation, introducing lightweight materials, ergonomic designs, and advanced suspension systems to enhance performance, comfort, and durability.

Growth of E-bikes and Technological Integration

E-bikes are gaining traction across Latin America, driven by advancements in battery technology, motor efficiency, and regulatory support for electric mobility. E-bikes appeal to commuters seeking an eco-friendly and energy-efficient alternative to traditional vehicles. Integration of smart technologies such as GPS tracking, smartphone connectivity, and digital displays further enhances the appeal of e-bikes, catering to tech-savvy consumers looking for connected and innovative transportation solutions.

Challenges and Opportunities

Infrastructure Development and Regulatory Support

Despite the growth prospects, challenges remain in infrastructure development and regulatory frameworks governing bicycle usage and safety. Improving cycling infrastructure, including dedicated bike lanes, secure parking facilities, and traffic regulations, is essential to promote safe and accessible cycling environments. Government initiatives and public-private partnerships are crucial in addressing these challenges and fostering a conducive ecosystem for sustainable mobility solutions.

Economic Impacts and Industry Collaboration

The economic impact of the bicycle industry extends beyond sales figures, encompassing job creation, tourism opportunities, and economic contributions to local communities. Collaboration among industry stakeholders, including manufacturers, retailers, advocacy groups, and government entities, is essential to drive policy reforms, promote cycling awareness campaigns, and support initiatives that enhance the overall cycling experience across Latin America.

Cultural and Recreational Trends

Cycling as a Recreational Activity

Beyond transportation, cycling in Latin America is increasingly popular as a recreational and leisure activity. Countries across the region boast diverse landscapes—from scenic coastal routes to challenging mountain trails—that attract cyclists of all skill levels. The growth of organized cycling events, such as races, tours, and charity rides, underscores the cultural significance of cycling as a social and recreational pursuit, contributing to the overall vibrancy of the bicycle market.

Tourism and Bicycle-Friendly Destinations

Tourism plays a significant role in promoting cycling infrastructure and supporting bicycle-related businesses in Latin America. Bicycle-friendly destinations and tourist routes are emerging, catering to international travelers seeking eco-friendly and immersive travel experiences. Governments and local businesses are investing in cycling tourism initiatives, including bike rentals, guided tours, and accommodations tailored to cyclists, fostering sustainable tourism practices and economic growth in rural and urban areas alike.

Demographic Shifts and Consumer Behavior

Youth and Millennial Preferences

Younger demographics, particularly millennials and Generation Z, are driving the demand for bicycles in Latin America. These tech-savvy consumers value sustainability, mobility options, and experiential lifestyles, making bicycles a preferred mode of transportation and recreational activity. Brands are responding with innovative marketing strategies, social media engagement, and product designs that resonate with younger generations' preferences for eco-conscious and socially responsible products.

Gender and Diversity in Cycling

Efforts to promote inclusivity and diversity in cycling are gaining momentum across Latin America. Initiatives aimed at encouraging more women and marginalized communities to participate in cycling events and advocacy campaigns are reshaping the industry's demographics. Bicycle manufacturers and retailers are addressing gender-specific needs through ergonomic designs, smaller frame sizes, and inclusive marketing approaches that celebrate cycling as a universal activity accessible to all.

Economic Impact and Market Resilience

Job Creation and Local Manufacturing

The bicycle industry contributes to economic resilience and job creation in Latin America, supporting local manufacturing, assembly, and retail sectors. Investments in bicycle production facilities and supply chain networks contribute to regional economic development, particularly in rural areas where cycling plays a vital role in livelihoods and sustainable transportation solutions. By fostering partnerships and skills development, the industry enhances economic opportunities and strengthens community resilience against economic fluctuations.
