Key Findings:

  • As of July 2021, there is an appetite for continued digital engagement as well as digitally enhanced in-person experiences, especially among younger audiences.

  • Lower engaged audiences expressed about as much interest as higher engaged audiences in digital offerings, which may prove to be an attractive draw.

  • Among audiences that have expressed an interest in digitally enhanced in-person events, half say they are willing to pay more for them.

  • Where audiences had no plans to participate in future digital events, this was due to a lack of interest rather than difficulty gaining access.
