We staffed 2,500 events in 2025 — here’s what we learned.

From the rise of specialized freelancers to a boom in local talent, this past year reshaped how event teams think about staffing.
A few standout insights:
🔑 Specialization is key — niche expertise led to higher-quality gigs.
📍 Local talent boomed — 72% of staffing requests prioritized local pros.
🌎 Global events pulled back — international staffing dipped 22% year-over-year.
📆 Planning tightened — fewer last-minute staffing requests.

And as we look to 2026?
Expect continued focus on risk management, tight budgets, and fierce competition for “new-age” freelancers who can prove ROI, master event tech, and bring human EQ where AI can’t.

💡 Whether you’re an event professional or a freelancer ready to level up, now’s the time to get ahead.
