Govevents.com Reports on Event Spending

EVENT INDUSTRY

You ve probably noticed that when data is reported from studies any data most of the statistics you see cited are 3-10 years old, and you can imagine all the ho-hum reasons why: it takes researchers a while to gather info, collate it, make conclusions about it, publish it, and for it to end up on a linkbait infographic colorful enough to wrest attention away from the royal drool stains (And what was Selena Gomez thinking? These questions haunt us all.).

But not so for data published by political event industry blog Govevents.com, who have recently and generously shared some super-right-now-current stats that they ve gathered while tracking government event spending.

A particularly interesting highlight:

17{04d9822e7d95da125d508d8e1efbcf2edc79acd8aec1f0bbdcbd6a6f684f9bb3} The amount travel spending is down in 2014 (so far). Travel spending in fiscal 2014 through March is about $2.8 billion, compared to almost $3.4 billion through March of fiscal 2013.

30{04d9822e7d95da125d508d8e1efbcf2edc79acd8aec1f0bbdcbd6a6f684f9bb3} The amount agencies are mandated to reduce their travel spending (as compared to 2010 numbers). That level is to be maintained through 2016.

Hats off for that info, as that gives us a good idea of what we can predict in terms of the coming year. Don t miss the full post on govevents.com.
