The 2023 Convene Salary Survey highlights the dichotomy of event planning, showcasing the love-hate relationship professionals have with their roles. Respondents express appreciation for the dynamic nature of their jobs, emphasizing the variety, challenges, travel perks, and collaborative opportunities.
However, the survey reveals the flip side of the coin, with concerns about inconsistency, persistent challenges, excessive travel, and dealing with numerous stakeholders. Despite the resurgence of face-to-face meetings, planners grapple with market uncertainties, rising costs, the demand for hybrid experiences, staffing shortages due to the lingering pandemic, and the challenge of working with inexperienced suppliers.
The survey provides an insightful overview of the monetary and emotional aspects, encapsulating the dual nature of the event planning profession.
