| Poll Results: Fewer Scrooges for 2009 Holiday Party Season |
|
Last December, canceled holiday parties were a popular industry conversation topic, but 2009 looks like it might be a bit more festive than 2008—at least according to participants in last week's poll. Almost half of our polled readers said that they're already working on a holiday party, and an additional quarter of them reported planning a low-key affair in the office. Another 17 percent say that the final decision hasn't been made, and just 11 percent of polled planners have had to cancel their fetes.
Since we're already thinking ahead, what do your event budgets look like for 2010? Let us know what you've heard by partipatipating in this week's poll, which is in the left column of the home page.
