In order to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research process. CEOs, VPs of Business Development, creative directors, and heads of operations from corporate entertainment agency, event management businesses, AV production companies, and venue management organizations were examples of supply-side suppliers. Chief marketing officers, chief people officers, corporate event procurement managers, and executive assistants from Fortune 500 businesses, governmental organizations, nonprofits, and educational institutions were examples of demand-side sources. In addition to gathering information on budget allocation patterns, vendor selection criteria, technology adoption rates, and ROI measurement frameworks for corporate entertainment efforts, primary research verified service provider skills and validated market segmentation.
