As an event organiser it's likely you're always planning ahead and keeping up with the latest trends to make sure your finger doesn't slip off the pulse – so we've done some of the hard work for you. In 2022 we helped event organisers sell tickets to over 670,000 events worldwide (!), so as you can imagine we have a lot of insights that have shaped our predictions for next year.

We roll into 2023 against the backdrop of strange and, for many, difficult times. Waves of tantalising freedom feel new and exciting, with lockdown-living receding but still visible in the rearview mirror. But this is offset by the fact many are grappling with a cost of living situation that they’ve simply never faced before.

All this makes for quite a unique outlook when it comes to the upcoming events scene. Thankfully, it’s not all doom and gloom. Out of the pandemic, rises a new zeal for life. And out of the cost of living crisis rises a dogged determination, and a bigger craving than ever for the comfort of social connection. 

Here’s our take on how all of this is going to pan-out over the next 12 months, with our event planning trend predictions for 2023.
