Conferences and conventions are one of the fastest growing areas of
the events industry. This is a substantially important sector yet
research into many dimensions is in its infancy. This timely book,
uniquely presents a 'state of the art' synthesis of the research on
both demand and supply sides of the industry as well as insights
into how current and future trends are affecting conferences and
conventions. This volume provides a critical review of the players
involved in conferences and conventions; destination image and
impacts; and current and future trends. The players in the industry
include attendees/delegates, professional conference organisers,
and association meeting planners. On the destination side,
conference venues and facilities, along with convention and visitor
bureaux are examined, as well as how destination image can be
developed and improved. Further, this section considers the
economic, social and environmental impacts of conferences and
conventions. The final section considers some of the major trends
that are likely to impact on the industry, including climate
change, new technologies and risk and crisis management. To reflect
the sector's international nature case studies and examples from
different geographical regions are included throughout. By
identifying gaps in our knowledge, and presenting a collection of
themes to guide future research, this book not only adds to our
current knowledge, but will underpin the advancement of knowledge
in the future. This book is essential reading for all those
interested in Events.
