Do you know how much the #EventsIndustry is worth to the UK? As of 2019 it was £84bn. Let's get this retweeted to show @RishiSunak & @BorisJohnson what they are ignoring. #Journalists , you will find the source of these figures here: Get sharing #Eventprofs

Make no mistake, this is a torrid time for the #EventsIndustry , and the job loss tally is horrific. But if we’re looking for any comfort, there is a unity among us that has never been seen before. Hang on if you can. Keep up the noise #eventprofs

The exhibitions we were discussing were trade exhibitions; huge numbers swanning round the Excel centre for example. Given the long lead-in time to organise them, that's not going to happen for ages.. so no point in keeping the jobs going IMHO

I imagine many are working as carers, and many of them built the NHS Nightingales. We export £2bn of exhibition services annually, making it a top 10 exporter. As our international competitors continue to reopen do you not think we should safeguard this valuable sector?

Yes we can support each other. You could get your people to work as carers, for example. Lots of vacancies there: such important jobs, need their status raised by stars like yourself. In return my taxes will help pay your wages.

A message to @UKParliament : what is the events industry? Editor @MartyFullardUAE says the conference industry is misunderstood and should be respected for what it brings the UK. @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak @10DowningStreet | #eventprofs | #GetBritainMeeting

As mentioned to the @BBCNews , the UK events industry is worth £84bn in direct spend annually, employed 1.5m (pre-pandemic). Knowledge exchange, economic growth, social impact all pillars. Not just music, but conference and trade show massive exports. Report on this more

Listening to the news! I wish they’d mention the events industry in the same breath as hospitality! This will hugely affect peoples confidence next year. We are already having people booked in Q1 wanting to postpone. 2 years like this will kill more people! #journorequest

Creative agency @drpgroup has said it is seeing a “good mix” of event bookings in 2021, with 30% of these being for live in-person events from September. They also say clients are being "brave" in how they communicate with their audiences #eventprofs

Just joined the @MashMediaLtd Xmas bash virtually, and I have to say: I work with such an awesome bunch. Everyone is there because they love the #EventsIndustry . They live and breathe for it. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. #eventprofs

Certainly the fact that cancelling this year’s #CPC cost Birmingham £20m in direct revenues should be an eye-opener.

Maybe, just maybe, politicians will realise that online party conferences lack the excitement, camaraderie, revenue and creative thought a live event induces. The economic & social value of meetings, conferences, trade fairs and exhibitions mustn’t be lost. #wecreateexperiences

Services, not people. British businesses operate events for international domestic markets. The UK excels, and with #Brexit on the horizon we will need the sector. To understand the power of events for economic growth, look at the German Messe system that was started after WW2

There won’t be much international travel till well into next year,so you’re not going to get many customers. So please, use your time well in the interim. Then you’ll be able to get started again that much more quickly.

Thank you @AngelaRayner . The #EventsIndustry is collectively worth £84bn to the UK in direct spend (2020 figure), and has never received support. The culture recovery fund does not extend far beyond some theatres. Business events a vital asset. #eventprofs

The hospitality and events sector is facing cruel uncertainty, the public are heading anxiously towards Christmas, hundreds of thousands of people are in isolation. Where on earth is the Prime Minister?

I’m caught in an Out of Office loop. My OOO is on. So is the sender of the email: now both mine and the other’s emails keep sending OOOs to each other in response to each other’s OOOs. I thought AI was clever. This is a nightmare!
