Market challenges

Event organisation has one simple principle: mobilising equipment and human resources at a certain time for a short period, in order to create a fleeting ‘business’ that generates hosting and travel requirements as well as significant logistical needs. Events all share these same needs, whether they are focused on the economy (trade shows, fairs, forums, etc.), sports (professional or amateur sporting events) or culture (festivals, gatherings, etc.).

Recently, digital events have supplanted physical events. The growth in remote working has led many companies to rethink the need to retain physical offices. If those offices disappeared, companies’ needs for events and seminars should grow.  This sector would then experience a business resurgence.

For its part, the art market comprises all objet d’art and artwork transactions. It involves a large number of people: artists, art and antique dealers, art galleries, auction houses, collectors and more.

The number of artworks sold at auction in past years shows this market continues to flourish. When transporting artworks and collection pieces, they must remain undamaged so they can continue to be displayed around the world.
