Abstract | 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. |
