Research

Prevue Meetings + Incentives’ 2024 survey of 302 industry women (228 meeting planners and 74 suppliers) was conducted in partnership with the Women In Leadership Committee.

Here are three highlights:

Half of the respondents reported that just a third of C-Level/ Senior Management positions in their companies are occupied by women, and 24% said that 10% or fewer of top positions were held by women.
When asked if they have ever been in a job where they believed their gender would prohibit them from advancing any further, more than half (58%) of respondents said yes. Of those who said yes, 77% were meeting planners vs. suppliers.
Half of the respondents said they believed they are not paid at an equal rate as men in the same position.
