Minimum Spend Liability
Definition
Venues hold organizers liable for contracted minimum spends even if attendance drops, requiring upgrades like extra F&B to meet thresholds. Lack of flexibility in contracts exacerbates losses.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: 100% of minimum spend if numbers drop (e.g., AUD 5,000-20,000 per event)
- Frequency: Per under-attended event
- Root Cause: Poorly negotiated attrition clauses in deposit contracts
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Events Services firms in Australia 🇦🇺 lose full minimum spend (e.g., AUD 10,000+) on under-attended events. Automation of attendance forecasting and clause alerts prevents this.
