The European Exhibition Industry Alliance (EEIA) leverages its strong network and proactive initiatives, such as Net Zero Carbon Events and diversity networks, to navigate industry challenges. However, it faces issues including a shortage of skilled professionals, limited external awareness, and complex regulatory burdens.

To address these, the EEIA plans to develop a framework for carbon emissions reporting, centralize industry data through a new platform, and advocate for distinct recognition of business travel versus leisure tourism. Additionally, the alliance will focus on attracting and retaining talent through improved training and strategic planning. These efforts aim to enhance sustainability, improve crisis preparedness, and increase the sector's visibility and influence in policymaking.

The European Exhibition Industry Alliance (EEIA) operates within a well-organised network of associations and maintains strong relationships with its members, institutions, and international actors. This robust network facilitates smooth communication and collaboration within the industry.

The organisation is recognised for its proactive approach to future challenges, evidenced by initiatives such as the Net Zero Carbon Events and diversity networks like Women in Exhibition. EEIA’s substantial industry data and active training programs support its high-quality operations. Additionally, the industry benefits from a variety of data sources, though these are not always fully integrated or systemic.

The exhibitions sector faces significant challenges, particularly a shortage of skilled professionals and employees. This talent gap can affect the industry’s ability to innovate and maintain high standards.

There is also a noticeable lack of awareness about the industry from external perspectives. This gap in public understanding limits opportunities for growth and recognition.

The regulatory issues pose substantial obstacles. The bureaucratic burden is considerable, with complex and costly regulations which are often difficult to navigate. This regulatory environment can be a major hurdle, diverting resources and focus from more productive activities.
