Skill shortage is a major hindrance to the development of any industry and the MICE market is no exception. Shortage of skilled employees especially at the mid-senior level is one of the serious issues that the event industry needs to deal with. One may ask ‘why this shortage’ when the event industry itself is booming and the overall turnover keeps breaching newer barriers year.

The answer to why this shortage, and also on ways to tackle and overcome it can all be found on this blog here on the BOE 2018, Dortmund website.The BOE has recognised this issue and deals extensively with the shortage of skilled workers in the event industry. It has chosen this as one of the guiding themes at the fair’s own career forum.
