Just Planners Community Conversation: Navigating Budget Cuts & the Road Ahead

Join us in the Just Planners community on September 10 at 1:00 p.m. ET for an open, attendee-led conversation on how budget cuts are reshaping our work as meeting planners. Together, we'll explore how federal job cuts may be impacting registrations, speaker availability, and even the meeting planner job market itself.

We'll also dig into the evolving hiring landscape - are you seeing more AI and less personalization in job postings, application screenings  or applicant follow-up?

From there, we'll talk dollars and cents:

• Are new and changing tariffs squeezing your budgets?

• What cost-saving strategies have you found for F&B, AV, travel, or other key expenses?

• How are you approaching - or bracing for - your 2026–2027 budget projections?

Bring your experiences, questions, and ideas. This is a safe (meeting planners only) space to share what's working, what's challenging, and what's keeping us up at night - so we can learn from each other.
