Planner Confidence Index - Barometer for Future Face to Face (F2F) Events

Week 38 - December 14, 2020 -- Survey Open until December 31, 2020
 i-Meet's Planner Confidence Index is a forward-looking barometer as to when planners believe they'll be ready to resume operating F2F events. The process involves weekly polls (2-minutes to participate), which give a unique view into how these sentiments are changing.
