Hosting the Olympic Games may result in learning skills and add educational value for the host region. Based on the legacy framework proposed by Koenigstorfer et al. (2019), the current study examines the Olympic legacy on personal experiences, training/information, networking and skill development of teachers. The case study was conducted in the context of Rio 2016 Olympic Games, and data were collected among teachers who attended the Transforma Program, through an online questionnaire (n = 617). The results of a structural equation model indicate that the Olympic legacy measured through four factors contributed positively to the educational development of teachers as well as to their Olympic knowledge. This study reveals the importance of Olympic Education, arguing that when Olympism is embedded into educational practices, positive consequences can occur and contribute to positive education legacy.

Recent research by Calver et al. (2023) has revealed that event management studies has failed to adequately engage with concerns for equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI). This analysis is intended to respond to that research, recommending that issues of structural justice are also essential to include in our efforts if our goals for meaningful transformations are to be realised. A brief analysis of Indigenous Australian Welcome to Country protocols will be offered to illustrate the imperative for justice concerns to frame our EDI initiatives in events management. Scholarly debates and dialogues such as this are an important means by which we mature the academic field of event management but also more importantly, we work to ensure that event management leads to just and equitable outcomes for societies that convene them.

Human trafficking is a global problem with challenges for societies and those agencies tasked with the protection of the public. Much human trafficking is in the form of sex or labor trafficking with over 22,000 cases reported in the United States alone in 2019. Although prevalent in many industries, the event industry is particularly vulnerable to human trafficking with tourism destinations and the major events they host prone to such activity. This exploratory study, underpinned by collaboration theory, adopts a qualitative approach by interviewing stakeholders in the USA to identify the causes, scale, reach, and impact of human trafficking in the context of major events. The study then identifies those initiatives designed and implemented to help mitigate the occurrences of human trafficking activity and minimize the damage to individuals and negative reputation for those major events caught up in this modern-day criminality.

This study examines the intention of local residents to attend events in their neighbourhood when mass gatherings are being perceived as a risky activity, particularly due to a public health risk, and investigates the differences in behavioural intention by personal factors. The survey findings show a strong willingness of community members to attend events and that it varies across household types and the number of previous visits to events. Age and gender which were shown in previous studies to affect risk perception have not been found relevant in the context of willingness to attend local events. The identified factors from a focus group, such as trust in government regulations, familiarity with the place as well as previous positive experiences at events, can be seen as important to reinforce the willingness of residents to attend local events in times of crisis.

As I sit at my desk, as the nights draw in and the temperatures fall, my mind is transported to the summer of 2022 and the re-emergence of Edinburgh as a Festival City (world leading apparently!) as it was the first time the festivals had been able to operate without strict COVID regulations. Edinburgh Festivals consists of 11 recurring events held in Edinburgh each year and before the pandemic struck, the August festivals combined (Edinburgh International Festival; Edinburgh Festival Fringe; Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo; Edinburgh International Book Festival and Edinburgh Art Festival) were the world’s third largest ticketed event, just behind the Olympics and football World Cup in scale, selling millions of tickets each year. Together, the five August festivals comprise over 5,000 events across Scotland’s capital, welcoming audiences of 4.4 million and over 25,000 artists, writers and performers from 70 countries and transform Edinburgh into a prominent cultural destination every summer (Festivals Edinburgh, 2020). This morning’s launch of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society’s review of the year 2022: an in-depth look at the work it has accomplished over the past 12 months also makes me reflect on the summer long gone. With unease caused by a new wave of COVID in early 2022, there was still uncertainty that a fully formed Fringe could take place this August and that Edinburgh would once again be a mecca for artists, tourists and industry to visit as the Festivals (Film, International and Fringe) celebrated their 75th year (Edinburgh Festival Fringe, 2022).
当我坐在办公桌前，随着夜幕降临，气温下降，我的思绪被带到2022年的夏天，爱丁堡重新成为一个节日之城(显然是世界领先的!)，因为这是节日第一次能够在没有严格的新冠肺炎规定的情况下运作。爱丁堡艺术节由每年在爱丁堡举行的11项经常性活动组成，在大流行爆发之前，8月份的艺术节合并在一起(爱丁堡国际艺术节;爱丁堡艺穗节;皇家爱丁堡军事纹身;爱丁堡国际图书节(Edinburgh International Book Festival)和爱丁堡艺术节(Edinburgh Art Festival)是世界第三大售票活动，规模仅次于奥运会和足球世界杯，每年售出数百万张门票。每年8月的五个艺术节在苏格兰首都共举办5000多场活动，欢迎440万观众和来自70个国家的2.5万多名艺术家、作家和表演者，并将爱丁堡变成每年夏天的重要文化目的地(爱丁堡艺术节，2020年)。今天上午，爱丁堡艺穗节协会(Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society)发布了《2022年回顾:深入回顾过去12个月的工作》，这也让我反思了这个早已逝去的夏天。由于2022年初新冠肺炎疫情引发的不安，今年8月能否举办一个完整的艺穗节，以及爱丁堡能否再次成为艺术家、游客和工业界参观的麦加，仍然存在不确定性，因为艺术节(电影、国际和艺穗节)庆祝了第75届(爱丁堡艺穗节，2022年)。

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between place image and attitudes toward cities with the moderating effect of sporting event awareness. Exploratory research was conducted using a mall-intercept sampling technique with a sample of 299 local residents. PLS-SEM using SmartPLS 3.3.2 was performed to test the hypothesized relationships. The findings demonstrated a significant relationship between place image and resident attitudes. In addition, a reflective-formative construct of place image showed that municipal facilities, leisure, and public services were significant factors in influencing perceptions of place image. The moderating effect of awareness was not found to be significant. The results of this study recommend that city authorities and tourism managers recognize and address the various dimensions of place image to increase community support. This would benefit event managers through developing favorable attitudes of residents towards their cities, thus having a social impact on the host city’s residents.

This paper explores the motivations of Generation Z festival-goers’ decision to attend festivals. This research used an online, self-administered questionnaire which was distributed to a sample of Generation Z festival-goers in Ireland and measured several festival motivational constructs whilst employing Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Generation Z’s attendance at a festival is directly impacted by their anticipation of the festival, the festival’s attractions and the flow that they experience during the festival. The anticipation that Generation Z has towards festivals is directly impacted by the festival’s attractions, their interest in socialisation with known and external groups during the festival, the flow experienced at the festival and to a lesser extent, perceived popularity, and accumulated social capital. External socialisation and event attractions were also found to have a direct effect on flow. The research reveals that the positive relationship between the flow experienced at festival events and the level of anticipation of festival events is amplified for that cohort of Generation Z with higher levels of inhibition. As few studies to date have focused on the motivations of Generation Z festival-goers, this paper makes an important theoretical contribution in this area.

Literature has highlighted the negative backlash from host communities for event hosting due to unfavourable impacts. Host communities feel ignored when event organisers do not appropriately acknowledge the communities' interests and concerns. Accordingly, studies have proposed community engagement as an impact management tool. However, evidence supporting the operationalised use of engagement as an impact management tool is scattered and inadequate. To this end, the current paper systematically locates, analyses and reviews 68 peer-reviewed empirical research articles on the nexus of event impacts and host community engagement to examine the lag in the literature's development. As one of the first reviews to systematically analyse empirical research on the use of community engagement as an event management tool, this study contributes to knowledge enhancement by revealing the current gaps in the literature and practice and provides future directions to strengthen the value of community engagement as an event impact management tool.

The Virtual Sport Experience Design (VSX) framework, which was adapted from Funk’s (2017) Sport Experience Design (SX) framework, was used to examine the event experience of cyclists who competed on the Mixed Reality platform, Zwift. Using a mixed methods approach, the findings suggest that Zwift is a viable substitute for real-life cycling events in that it provided users with realistic and serious competition in a social environment. High levels of technological embodiment, the quality of the in-game graphics and the gamification elements added to the experience by creating a sense of presence and control. However, it was the social dimension and the ability to communicate and create a sense of ‘communitas’ with other riders that provided the most compelling argument that Mixed Reality can provide a digital alternative to real-life events.

This mixed methods study investigated differences in men’s and women’s career success in the events industry. A ‘glass slipper’ (Ashcraft, 2013) of success was identified that aligns more readily with some bodies/people than others. An online survey tested the extent to which this glass slipper ‘fits’ men and women. Results illustrate that men are more successful than women on all measures, indicating that the glass slipper of success is gendered. Interviews were used to explore experiences of success (or otherwise) and to investigate the workings of the glass slipper. Women were often aware of their lack of fit, whereas men did not recognise the gendered norms that make it easier for them to have their merit acknowledged and rewarded. The gendered glass slipper contributes to ongoing gender inequality in the events industry, making it harder for women to be recognised – by themselves and others – as successful in their careers.
