The concept of value cocreation occupies an important space in the landscape of event studies. It captures the changing dynamics in event making, with customers and attendees increasingly seen as vital collaborators and coproducers of value. However, events phenomena are qualitatively different in comparison to the goods and services in other industries, and therefore, it is necessary to develop tailored conceptual tools to fully appreciate the cocreational limits and possibilities. By proposing a spectrum from weak to strong cocreation, it is shown that cocreation is best conceived on a continuum, and that, in its strongest form, can lead to partnerships that no longer resemble the conventional models and vocabularies commonly used in the field. The conceptual contributions of this article lie in capturing the various gradations of cocreation and opening up new research avenues.

Most events tend to incorporate some kind of social purpose albeit in different ways. Until recently the role of social entrepreneurship in event management has not been widely studied. The aim of this article is to discuss in greater detail the linkage between social entrepreneurship and event management. By doing so it will spur more interest in this interdisciplinary field and bring together the event management and social entrepreneurship community. A review of the existing research on event social entrepreneurship is conducted as a way of assessing the current state of the literature. The findings of the review highlight that many events have some form of social entrepreneurship that occurs in a direct and indirect way. Suggestions for future research on the role of social entrepreneurship in event management are stated that provides excellent guidance for future research.

Universities are hybrid organizations, which increasingly embark in entrepreneurial activities as a means of achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). These include outreach and community engagement activities such as sponsoring cultural or sporting events. With our conceptual expository argument, taking a multi-theoretical approach, we contribute to the event management and social entrepreneurship literatures by examining how and why universities engage in UNSDGs-oriented events. This is important as little is known about how they contribute to the UNSDGs and use events. We question the altruistic assumption underpinning their engagement. Informed by institutional theory and strategic management value-based literature, we explore why they have taken this route and suggest self-interest rather than altruism is driving their decisions to engage in social entrepreneurship. They are value-creating strategies. We argue it is serendipity that many interpret universities’ social entrepreneurship decisions and the events that flow from them as acts of altruism.

Drawing on servicescape theory and internal service climate theory, the aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the fundamentals of exhibit booth design, also known as, boothscape (a word made up by blending booth and servicescape) and the causal relationships between boothscape and exhibitor behavior, performance, and satisfaction. Key findings include that exhibitors’ perception of boothscape is shaped by a variety of factors including ambient condition, style and layout, signage and graphics, and functionality. The findings suggest that boothscape may promote exhibitor booth behavior and performance, which, in turn, increases satisfaction. Exhibit staff with positive booth behaviors and performance are likely to have greater satisfaction. The study also highlights the importance of exhibitor performance in increasing exhibitor satisfaction at a tradeshow.

While recent studies have demonstrated that events are fundamentally climate-sensitive, this seems to not be fully considered in event research or corporate event practice. Thus, this study aims to identify the influencing factors that affect the acceptance of climate adaptation measures among decision-makers in the event industry The analysis was divided into three main parts: First, the existing literature related to climate change in an events context was reviewed. Using fifteen semi-structured interviews, the findings from this review were then critically discussed with stakeholders in Germany involved in event planning. Finally, explicit climate adaptation measures were proposed and discussed. Based on all findings, there appears to be a low level of awareness of and interest in climate adaptation amongst German event industry players. There is an imminent need for further research on climate adaptation and for decision-makers to better prepare for climate change in order to counteract resulting negative impacts.

In an effort to reveal insights related to the interdisciplinary nature of event-related research, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to assimilate current knowledge from articles published in the Scopus database between 2000 and 2022. We examined publication trends, co-authorship networks, and citation chains, as well as acknowledged contributions from select authors, institutions, and countries to map research trends and trajectories. After article vetting (N=1582 articles), a co-citation analysis of the prior literature identified four major clusters: (1) determinants of consumer decision-making in event tourism, (2) mega sport event legacies, (3) event and tourism experiences, and (4) event content, size, and scope. Finally, a content analysis was performed to reveal the most significant insights about prior research in the event and tourism space.

This study measured if residents, or subsets of residents, experienced social event impacts (SEIs) and social media event impacts (SMEIs) from a major sport event. Panel data were collected from 1,027 individuals using an online survey nine-months post-event. Descriptive statistics indicated that although the event did not jeopardize residents’ safety or cause them conflict, it failed to produce positive SEIs and SMEIs, other than feel good factor, amongst the population. A cluster analysis revealed that while there was a subset of residents who experienced positive SEIs and SMEIs, over half were limitedly impacted, experiencing either no positive SEIs nor SMEIs or only SEIs. This research advances SEI-related theory by investigating impacts among all community members, not just attendees; measuring impacts further out from the event, not just shortly post-event; and introducing SMEIs. It challenges the notion that events elicit positive SEIs while identifying boundaries with respect to who experiences them.

The current study explored how the cancellation of an in-person sport event was leveraged for sense of community (SOC) among event participants and challenges faced by event managers when leveraging event cancellation. We employed document analysis and semi-structured interviews with six event managers and fourteen event participants. Findings showed that despite the cancellation of in-person sport events, event managers were able to develop some new, creative sport or event programs such as virtual race, virtual challenge, and a small-scale in-person virtual race, to build SOC among participants. However, there were also challenges to leveraging event cancellation for SOC such as prioritizing other urgent matters over leveraging the event, and lacking knowledge, experience, and resources. Overall, this study extends the event leverage framework by examining if and how event cancellation can be leveraged, while providing implications for event managers to develop effective leverage strategies in the face of event cancellations.
