If you drive on a good new car, you do not feel the speed. Excellent sound insulation - you do not hear the noise of the road. Excellent suspension and no sense of shaking. Past the floating field, cozy houses ... you drink coffee, enjoy the peaceful scenery, in other words - all excellent, full of thrill. But this feeling of comfort can be deceptive - you feel that you eat slowly, even though you have 120 km / h instead of 60 ... you can get into an accident, and Air-bag will not save you.

In order to not distort the overall comfort of your attention, there are devices in the machine on which you watch the state of his car. Convenient invention.

It's no secret that Russia's market activities live in some kind of vacuum. Companies do not publish truthful statements can not compare themselves and competitors. We are a leading company or an outsider? Our turnover has grown so much, because we are good fellows, or the whole market has grown? How grown competitors? We guess, but do not know for sure.

Unfortunately, I do not know whether there had been some research on Russia's market arrangements. It would be interesting. Last year our company on its own initiative conducted a telephone survey to find out which one of the most famous event organizers, "to the hearing. Suppose this is not a serious rating, but, nevertheless, is the first experience with the rating of players of Russia event-market.

And what about abroad? Maybe foreigners will help us?
You'll be surprised. Try to find the largest event-TOP10 companies in the world. Or TOP100 largest event-companies in the world. You will encounter an unexpected problem. Find the global ranking or any clear national event-rating agencies are not so simple. The answer to the question - who's very steep - not obvious.

The site specialevent.com, that is significant, I still found the rating. Since I have no written permission for its publication, I can not publish it. With some perseverance you will find it themselves.
Result analysis rating curious. Turns out

• the largest company - George P. Johnson Co holds about 4100 events a year. Ie 11 activities per day
• The average budget for these activities leading companies about $ 165 thousand (for how many people - do not know)
• The average number of events - about 60 a year (ie 2 per week)
• The average turnover per year - between $ 6 and $ 15 million
• The very small on the turnover of the company, still made the list - the turnover of $ 3 million, the largest - 250 million
• One of the companies rated TOP50 doing all 5 events per year. But their average budget - nearly $ 6 million

Personally, I think that if Russia (Indian, Chinese, Brazilian), the company would be included in the study, both for financial performance and quality of the few companies would fall into this rating. We can be proud of much that we can and can not.
Well. I think now for the event-management companies more clear quantitative indicators for the slogan "catch up and surpass America", is to aspire to and be proud of.

Be careful driving, watch for devices!
