A Letter from the CEO

Dear valued Clients,

As we close out another remarkable year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the dynamic state of the meeting and event industry and express our profound gratitude for your partnership. 2024 has been a year of growth, innovation, and transformation, and yet, we feel the best is still to come.

This year, we’ve had the privilege of listening to your challenges and aspirations, and one thing is clear: agility is the cornerstone of success in an ever-changing landscape. Independent talent has emerged as a strategic solution, enabling companies like yours to adapt quickly and seize new opportunities. At Plannernet, we appreciate the opportunity to stand alongside you in driving this change, providing the expertise and flexibility needed to stay ahead.

The freelance economy continues to thrive, with more meeting and event professionals choosing the path of entrepreneurship. This shift enriches our industry, ensuring access to exceptional talent and empowering businesses to build dynamic teams that are ready to deliver—no matter the challenge or scope.

We are also incredibly proud of the small businesses we support—our talented freelance workforce. They represent the backbone of our industry, bringing creativity, dedication, and professionalism to every project. Their ability to mobilize and meet the evolving needs of the industry is nothing short of inspiring.

As we look to 2025 and beyond, we remain committed to helping you succeed. Whether it’s streamlining operations, expanding your reach, or navigating complexity, our mission remains the same: to connect you with the best freelance talent available that supports your employees and helps propel your business forward.

On behalf of everyone at Plannernet, thank you for your trust and collaboration. Together, we are not just navigating change but shaping the future of our industry. We look forward to continuing this journey with you in the year ahead.
