 | Denise C.( 30s, Female, United Kingdom )There are a lot of reports that ‘the worst is over’ but probably best not to start quaffing the magnums of champagne just yet… I work in an events team in a fairly large corporate institution where the number of events we are holding are still way down on previous years, not to mention the fact they've cut our events team in half! Maybe things are different for events in the non-corporate/non-financial world, but the problem is that no one wants to be seen to be holding events, especially not large ones. This is really frustrating if you're in a company that is performing really well, and wants to hold these events & take clients to hospitality etc. For companies like ours, the fear of getting damaging PR is deemed too great. Don't get me wrong, the city is bubbling and there are lots of encouraging signs which filter directly down to us and the events that we hold… Here's hoping things will get better in 2010 – it's beginning to look that way!
