This paper seeks to address the following question: How can we respond to the challenges and opportunities in contemporary eventscapes in meaningful, ethically rich, and enduring ways? By considering the intersections of risk, crisis, resilience, and creativity, the notion of ‘pragmatic hope’ emerges as the capacity to navigate the ever-changing risk environment and the ability to act in ethical, imaginative, creative, and practical ways through the medium of events. The paper highlights that considerations around risk and resilience have surfaced to the forefront of event decision-making processes and argues that creativity is increasingly bound up with wider societal, moral, ecological, and socio-economic conundrums. An agency-based view of events phenomena is suggested, with events contemplated as the extension and expression of ‘we’.

This study investigates sustainable entrepreneurship in events businesses to understand the value systems and social good of sustainable entrepreneurs within the sector, through a focus upon the place based, social, and psychological processes of embeddedness. Data was collected through qualitative semi-structured interviews, or qualitative survey’s with representatives of twelve UK small to medium size enterprises (SME’s) identifying as sustainable entrepreneurial businesses in the events sector. The study employed thematic analysis to develop an initial code framework and subsequent final themes. Findings indicate sustainable entrepreneurship emerged as a value system deeply embedded within the organisational identity of the sample and dependent upon the creation of place-based connections. Business expansion for sustainable entrepreneurs is perceived as diversification and adaptation to facilitate further advances in sustainable operation. The study proposes a conceptual model which demonstrates the interrelationship between embeddedness and sustainable entrepreneurship which emerges through principles of identity, attachment and place making.

This study uncovers insider perspectives on the Covid-19 pandemic’s impact from four senior management and organisers of two global tennis tournaments. The events are Wimbledon and the Queen’s Club Championship; both annually recurring tennis tournaments played on grass in London, UK. Using an ‘elite event interviewing’ approach, data was collected through semi-structured interviews. The interviews were thematically analysed, and four primary themes emerged from the data. These themes were (i) responding to the initial impact of the global pandemic on tennis events, (ii) planning and preparedness for the ongoing issues facing event organisers, (iii) pandemic implications for other tennis event stakeholders including sponsors, employees and suppliers; and (iv) prevention and learning from the pandemic to help ensure the prosperity of future events. Managerial implications and areas of future research are highlighted, followed by holistic recommendations for event organisers to help better plan, prepare and prevent future crises and disasters.

This paper examines the growing trend of NFL players to forego participation in the league´s yearly All-Star exhibition game, the Pro Bowl. Viewership of the Pro Bowl has been substantially lower than the average game day in recent years, causing controversial discussions about the viability of the game and its future. As a consequence, the league revised the Pro Bowl´s concept entirely in 2022.Since the major determinant of viewership demand is the participation of (superstar) players, this paper analyses the individual athletes’ economic incentives in the decision to participate. To this end, it models the athlete’s decision as a rational evaluation of cost-benefit under incentives of monetary reward and punishment. It uses unbalanced panel data on Pro Bowl players from the Super Bowl era (1971-2019), alongside viewership data and official league data. It applies a range of econometric methods (Pearson-correlations, graphical examination) to evaluate hypotheses about the players’ decision-making process. It concludes that the incentives to participate in the Pro Bowl for the majority of players—esp. viewership-driving superstar players—were weak. The monetary incentives in their previous form were not an efficient way of positively manipulating the percentage of superstars in the game. If the goal was higher demand from players, the incentive structure had to be changed. Such changes are inter alia, the reduction of costs for participation in the form of minimizing the risk of injuries. Furthermore, possible changes to the design of the incentive structure are proposed that contain general learnings for the design of such events.

The aim of this research note is to identify how attendees to Christian conferences define religiosity. Through employing Leximancer, it is concluded that religious; God; beliefs; and traditions represent the religiosity themes identified by attendees. Religiosity as a term is not seen favourably by responses and its usage should be avoided. Rather, favourable terms such as joy, love or patience coupled with Christian beliefs and practices should be employed when event researchers seek to see how Christians with a religious interest may respond to certain marketing stimuli when considering attending a Christian conference.

Given the increased adoption of immersive technologies in tourism events, there is a need to understand how to best implement such technologies and their effects on visitors. Thus, the present study examined the antecedents and effects of using Augmented Reality (AR) when spectating a mega sport event. Data obtained from 204 participants that used AR during the attendance of the Beijing Winter Olympics showed that, indeed, there is an effect on event experience – physical, cognitive and affective engagement and future revisit intention, as well as positive word of mouth. Additionally, the success of the AR implementation depended on the effective visual design of the AR platform that would significantly influence users’ perceived ease of use and usefulness of the AR. Results obtained to add to the existing body of knowledge in the field of event tourism and provide specific managerial implications to enhance event experience using AR.

This scoping review integrates literature from diverse perspectives to better understand when and how management of major sport events promotes or harms human rights. The authors critically review 130 peer-reviewed English language articles to identify conceptual contributions to research and practice. The findings reveal that politics and political reform, legal frameworks and organizational actions are crucial influences in when and how management of events promotes or harms human rights. The most frequently considered rights in the literature are: equality, human trafficking-related, sport as a human right, worker rights and freedom of residence. Activism for human rights stimulates change within relevant stakeholders via collaboration, naming and shaming, in-public debates and media coverage. The committed, transparent and inclusive consideration of human rights in all stages of managing sport events (from bid preparation, bidding, planning and hosting to post-event leverage) may increase the likelihood that the event has social benefits.

This study investigated the behaviors of attendees of small social life-cycle events during the COVID-19 pandemic, incorporating the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) into the study framework. Adopting individuals’ risk perception aspects based on the affect and availability heuristics as antecedents of variables of TPB, this study found that affect and availability heuristics influenced individuals’ attitudes and perceived behavioral control when attending small social life-cycle events during the pandemic. Findings of the study also revealed that individuals’ attitudes, perceived behavioral control, and social norm influenced their behavioral intentions and, in turn, their behaviors. The group comparison analysis found the severity of the pandemic in the regions moderated attendees’ behaviors partially. Theoretical and managerial implications were addressed, followed by limitations and future study suggestions.

While experiential learning is well established in Higher Education, several scholars called for more studies on how to embed it for event management students. This paper aims to answer these calls by investigating student and instructor perspectives on delivering a live event for a postgraduate course in an English university. It uses primary as well as secondary data from previous studies to suggest how to plan an experiential learning course. Findings provide practical recommendations to educators in relation to four elements: teaching content; resources and support; assessment; and links to employability. While doing so, Kolb’s cycle is reviewed and a new model of experiential learning for event management students is suggested. Thus, this paper expands the current debate on experiential learning and suggests practical guidelines for event management educators.

There are perhaps not better times than those we are living in, to reconsider how practices and approaches to event innovation, and resilience may help us to chart a path to a more sustainable industry and societal practice for now and for the future. The impacts the Covid-19 pandemic has had on the events sector globally and nationally have certainly been profound (see for example the OECD report, 2021; Stewart et al., 2022). Yet, whilst these impacts remain to be fully unpicked; continued heightened economic and socio-cultural instabilities remind us that the pathway to events success (or failure) lies on the sector’s capacity to both rethink current approaches and practices to event planning, delivering, and managing as well as build on innovative stances with an aim of strengthening the sector’s capacity and resilience in the face of externalities. It is with this in mind that this special issue set out to explore event innovation and resilience during uncertainty, a topic and area of investigation highly relevant to both, industry, and academia. The special issue offers 8 unique research papers and 3 invited thought pieces from leading academics, which are sure to be a valuable reference source and point of discussion for any researcher in the field of events.
也许没有比我们现在生活的时代更好的时候了，我们应该重新考虑活动创新的实践和方法，以及弹性如何帮助我们为现在和未来开辟一条通往更可持续的行业和社会实践的道路。Covid-19大流行对全球和国家的活动部门的影响无疑是深远的(例如，参见经合组织2021年的报告;Stewart et al.， 2022)。然而，尽管这些影响仍有待完全消除;持续加剧的经济和社会文化不稳定性提醒我们，活动成功(或失败)的途径取决于该部门重新思考当前活动规划、交付和管理的方法和实践的能力，以及建立创新立场的能力，以加强该部门面对外部因素的能力和弹性。正是考虑到这一点，本期特刊开始探讨不确定性期间的事件创新和弹性，这是一个与工业界和学术界高度相关的研究主题和领域。特刊提供了8篇独特的研究论文和3篇来自领先学者的受邀思想文章，这必将成为任何研究人员在事件领域的宝贵参考来源和讨论点。
