Event Industry Report 2026 – Australia & New Zealand Edition

Are event organisers planning more or fewer events in 2026? How are they balancing growth with cost pressures, data security, and rising expectations around sustainability and accessibility? We set out to find the answers.

We commissioned independent market research firm Censuswide to survey 200 senior planners, marketers, and event decision-makers from large organisations across Australia & New Zealand about their 2026 event strategies.

Based on these findings, we bring you the Event Industry Report 2026 – Australia & New Zealand Edition.

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll find in this report:
