As with so many industries, the pandemic has offered a chance for a clean slate and an opportunity for reinvention. It was noted that with reduced budgets, high association costs and low ROI, consolidation could make associations more effective. But in the spirit of what was quite a fiery debate not everybody agreed.
It's going to be interesting to see how things develop as business travel slowly recovers from current levels. Click here to find out more about the webinar and to watch a recording.
