Have you heard? Ghosting has officially infiltrated the world of events.
From planners vanishing on suppliers to hotels ignoring RFPs, it seems the industry built on relationships is starting to lose its connection.
Why? It's not just rudeness — it's survival mode.
With staffing still lagging behind pre-pandemic levels, professionals are juggling roles and battling inbox fatigue. Emails, Slack, LinkedIn, Teams, sourcing platforms — it's a communication free-for-all. Add to that the pressure for work-life balance; suddenly, ghosting feels almost inevitable.
The same crunch is hitting suppliers. Hotel teams are stretched thin, sales professionals are buried under KPIs, and resources are scarce. Combine this with vague RFPs or generic inquiries from planners, and the cycle of silence continues.
But here's the thing: ghosting doesn't just hurt feelings — it hurts business. A simple phone call or candid email can save a relationship, provide clarity, and keep opportunities alive. Whether it's putting your budget front and center or offering a respectful "no," a little effort can go a long way.
What's your take? Have you been ghosted — or (gulp) done the ghosting yourself? Hit reply and share your thoughts or examples — we'd love to hear your perspective!
