Future Demand for External Meetings The IACC global external meetings demand study conducted by a student research group from the Hotel Management School Maastricht (see the full report here), interviewed 77 leading c-suite leaders of national and global organisations who are directly involved in their strategic people development. One survey element, linked to the effects of de-centralising workplace environments as it relates to demand for external meeting venues, looked at changes to the number of daily, weekly, monthly and yearly external meetings under 50 attendees. The report found that post pandemic there has been a sizable increase in weekly and monthly meetings and a corresponding decrease in daily meetings. It might be assumed that this has the potential to increase demand for external meeting spaces due to decentralisation and reductions in office space held by major organisations.
