Theory is brought to life in a range of case studies and examples throughout the text.

As well as updated examples and legislation, this edition introduces new chapters on:

• Event entrepreneurship

• Project management and financing

• New Multimedia technology for events organisers

• Sustainable festivals and events

• Long term legacy and impacts

• The future of the industry

An accompanying Companion Website provides students with discussion questions and video links. The website also provides an Instructor's Manual and PowerPoint slides for lecturers.
