As the events industry continues to evolve, businesses must stay ahead of emerging trends to deliver unforgettable experiences. In this feature, Stuart McDonald, Managing Director of YouCan Hire, explores the key developments shaping the sector in 2025…

The events industry is poised for another transformative year in 2025. As we navigate the rapidly evolving landscape, several trends are being predicted and utilised here at YouCan Hire.

Advances in technology remain at the forefront of our predictions throughout the events industry. The continued integration of hybrid event formats, combining in-person and virtual experiences has redefined accessibility and engagement.

Alongside this, the rise of AI has revolutionised events as well as almost all things technology in the modern age. We believe that AI will become an essential tool for any organiser, providing new ways to plan and market events, deliver content, and much more.

Sustainability is no longer optional; it’s a priority. Events are under increasing scrutiny for their environmental impact, and green certifications have become a much-needed benchmark of excellence. At YouCan Hire, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint through eco-friendly materials, waste management programs, and partnerships with sustainable suppliers and organisations.

“Sustainability is no longer optional; it’s a priority.” – Stuart McDonald, You Can Hire’s Managing Director.
