Contemporary Issues for Events

About this book

An edited volume which discusses and investigates five key themes of fast-moving and highly significant factors in the field of events management: • Technology • Equality, Diversity & Inclusion • Sustainability • Competition, Finances & Growth • Creativity & Event Operations Bringing together a team of expert international contributors who use real life case studies to contextualise, it provides the reader with a one-stop shop to all key areas of change and growth within the events industry. Part of the Event Management Theory and Methods Series. This series examines the extent to which mainstream theory is being employed to develop event-specific theory, and to influence the very core practices of event management and event tourism. With online resource material, this mix-and-match collection is ideal for lecturers who need theoretical foundations and case studies for their classes, by students in need of reference works, and by professionals wanting increased understanding alongside practical methods. Series editors: Vassilios Ziakas, Consultant & Independent Scholar in Events Management, UK and Donald Getz PhD., Professor Emeritus, University of Calgary, Canada.
