Welcome to the Q4 2026 Meetings Outlook Report

Event professional confidence continues to rebound, but staffing, spending and other important metrics point to a near future of measured expansion rather than runaway growth. Key findings include:

Favorable business conditions are expected over the next year according to 62% of respondents—the largest positive percentage seen in Meetings Outlook since early 2025.
Budget projections have remained steady all year with 54%-56% of respondents expecting favorable budgets for the year ahead.
60% of respondents expect favorable live attendance over the next 12 months—the same as at the start of 2026.
Respondents are less concerned with event safety and security now than they were this time last year.
