The new edition of this market-leading text introduces new developments and professional 'tools', and considers the globalisation and subsequent internationalisation of event management.

The edition offers students a current, relevant textbook for their study and professional reference. FEATURES ■ End-of-chapter case studies profile staged events to illustrate various concepts as presented in the text. ■ Industry professionals present real-world examples. ■ 'Event Profile' vignettes feature the diversity of events, the individuals who work within the industry and the process of formulating and organising an event.
