Cancellation Challenges
While more than a quarter of associations with in-person events scheduled between May and December have yet to cancel them, cancellations are far more common—and many association pros are having trouble seeing the potential resumption of events before January.

That’s based on the latest data from the ASAE Research Foundation’s Association Snapshot 2.0, which finds that 28 percent of respondents with events scheduled between May 1 and December 31 have not canceled any events, while 71 percent have canceled at least one event—and more than a third (34 percent) have canceled three or more. (Most significant: 21 percent say they’ve canceled five or more events.)
