With inflation hitting a 30-year high, all areas of the events industry and feeling the pinch like never before. With the lead time of events up to two years and inflation rising monthly, we ask – once contracted, who should pay the increased cost?

In an unstable climate lead by Covid-19, Brexit, and the war in Ukraine, its near impossible to predict the availability and price of products, staff and tech.
