Caesars Entertainment continues to expand its footprint with the goal of remaining a top player in the meetings and events industry.

Thanks in large part to the pandemic, working from home — or working remotely, as it’s often called — has become commonplace across corporate America, and the meeting industry is no exception to that trend.

From a planner’s perspective, 2024 still looks positive, even though budgeting continues to be an unresolved problem — and the number one most challenging aspect of event planning.

Characterized as being more dynamic, more digital and more impactful, the meeting industry is also better prepared to play a leading role in today’s global challenges.
