1.1 Corporate events and seminar-  The corporate events and seminars segment of the events industry market is experiencing notable growth due to the complete digitization of core event management processes and the increasing importance of customer-centricity. This segment caters to end-users like private organizations, businesses, corporations, trading associations, educational institutions, and political parties. By outsourcing event planning, these organizations can reduce operational costs by approximately 30%.

Despite this growth, the market share of the corporate events and seminars segment is decreasing due to the expansion of other industries, such as corporations, music, and concerts. Nevertheless, professional development conferences, strategic planning meetings, and annual shareholder meetings continue to contribute significantly to the overall growth of the corporate events and seminars segment. These factors are expected to fuel the expansion of the global events industry market throughout the forecast period.
