The Big Event Salary Survey

The Big Event is pleased to present its first annual Salary Survey for the events industry.

The Big Event Salary Survey is the most in-depth study of pay scales across the exhibition and live event industry as well as venues, commercial conference companies, production firms, event service suppliers, hotels and charities in the Middle East.

A full report will be printed in The Big Event in September 2003.

We are asking you to provide data to help us gauge trends ranging from job satisfaction and career prospects to the key question of “are you being paid what you’re worth?” as well as specifics like level of pay rises, career progression, promotion, how hard people work, working hours and salaries.

The details that are given by you are confidential. Indeed, we haven't asked for personal details in order that you have absolute confidence in giving us the information we need.

Thank you in advance for completing the survey and hope you enjoy the results when they're published.
