Get a clear picture of the possibilities of doing business all over Europe. Interesting material, not only for you as an association leader, but also for your members.
Europe’s live sector is at a turning point: internationalisation is growing, along with complexity and support needs.
The results of the European Industry Survey 2025 learn that internationalization emerges as a key growth driver in live communication. Across the European live communication sector, event professionals are eager to expand – but face gaps in knowledge, infrastructure, and support.In order to fill these gaps a follow-up study is needed.
The 2025 edition of the European Industry Survey – conducted by the German R.I.F.E.L. Institute – focuses on internationalisation as both a strategic opportunity and a challenge for the European live communication industry.
