Webinar Description
CEIR releases the results of its latest tracker survey monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on the US B2B exhibition industry. Results assess the extent of impact on staffing and the 2021 event schedule including the rate of postponements, cancellations and events that remain on schedule.
As importantly, CEIR’s assessment of the state of the industry is revisited and the four-scenario outlook for recovery is discussed, taking into consideration the transition to a Biden administration, as well as the status of distribution of vaccines and the rate of new COVID-19 cases.
What does this portend for 2021? Are we likely to reach the light at the end of the tunnel sooner or are we on track with earlier CEIR forecasts or is recovery likely to be pushed out to a later time?
All this, as well as questions, are addressed in this session.
Moderated by CEIR’s CEO Cathy Breden, CMP, CAE, CEM, she is joined by CEIR’s VP of Research, Nancy Drapeau, PRC and CEIR’s Economist, Allen Shaw, PhD., Founder, President & Chief Economist, Global Economic Consulting Associates Inc.

Webinar Description
Four months into the COVID-19 Pandemic, the US and global economies are in a recession. Because of lock-downs and travel bans, the B2B exhibitions industry shut down in mid-March. Since then, phased openings and social distancing have created a climate of extreme uncertainty for organizers struggling to produce events. The US economic impact through May 2020, from exhibitions not being held, was estimated at $1.8 billion.
This webinar provided an economic update, key indicators to follow and possible scenarios for recovery of the economy and B2B exhibitions industry.
Cathy Breden, CMP, CAE, CEM, CEO – Center for Exhibition Industry Research moderated this important, relevant and timely discussion and presentation with Allen Shaw, PhD., President & Chief Economist of Global Economic Consulting Associates.
