AIPC is pleased to share the findings of the IAPCO Global Socio-Political Impact Survey 2025, which offers a valuable, data-driven snapshot of how recent geopolitical instability, policy shifts, and global conflict are affecting our sector.
From cancelled events and venue relocations to financial losses and travel restrictions, the findings highlight the very real pressures our industry is facing. Almost 60% of respondents reported a direct impact on their ability to plan or host international events — and the ripple effects on research, innovation, and global collaboration are sobering.
This report is a crucial step in strengthening our collective voice with policymakers and stakeholders. It reinforces the need for resilience, adaptability, and smarter contingency planning across the board.
