Proceedings of the 4th International Event Management Research Conference

(Melbourne, July 2007) (2.24MB PDF)

The theme of the conference was Re-eventing the City: Events as Catalysts for Change: Events have the potential to impact upon the cities in which they take place in a variety of ways. They can, for example, serve as: agents of environmental and cultural renewal; vehicles for economic growth and development; catalysts for tourism growth; vehicles for community education and development; and starting points for the process of re-imaging/re-imagining particular places. Events, particularly large scale events, also raise specific issues in urban contexts, such as those associated with opportunity and environmental costs and legacy management. It can also be observed that competition between cities to capture events of various types through the bidding process, or to attract visitors through the creation of new events, is growing dramatically.

The Conference Proceedings include copies of all refereed papers, and abstracts of working papers accepted by the conference.
