Product launches. Sales kickoffs. Investor days. While the business objectives of your big events will differ dramatically, there is one factor that defines all of them: the budget.

In a survey of 1,000 event professionals, a staggering 90% of participants reported having insufficient budget to create their event. Respondents identified marketing and promotion, speakers, printed materials, and venue as the main costs to consider. Add hotels, catering services, and entertainment to that list, and it’s easy to understand why large events eat up budgets quickly. That’s why we can’t underscore enough how important it is to keep an eye on hidden costs––the sneaky extra fees that add up quickly. In this e-book, we’ll uncover the hidden costs of event planning so that you can budget wisely, know what questions to ask during preproduction, and show up prepared. Remember: forewarned is forearmed.
