Description
New Horizons: Working Together for a Brighter FutureIt is widely agreed that stakeholders have a significant impact on event development and success. Research is beginning to emerge into how events engage with stakeholders but this is still a relatively new area of study. From internal team and volunteer relationships to media and sponsor partnerships, from audience and participants to performers and suppliers, events connect a plethora of stakeholders, each requiring management and communication. This complex web and the challenges of operating in that environment are being explored through multiple research routes and includes wider topics such as events strategy, experience design, communications planning, team development and operational management. This theme also connects with wider strategic opportunities and challenges around sustainability, accessibility, forecasting and leadership.
