Speakers: Jos Huisman (Eventix), Lauren-Jan van Doorn (Sjef), Ben Spanjaard (Fanalists), more tbc
In today’s challenging event landscape, building a healthy budget is more critical - and more difficult - than ever. With rising costs, unpredictable revenues, and tighter margins, event organisers must be more strategic in their financial planning to ensure success. This panel brings together event experts to offer practical advice on how to navigate these turbulent times. Discover innovative strategies to manage costs, maximise on-site revenue, and turn your vision into a financially sustainable reality.
