“…As the event industry continued to develop, there has also been an evolution in the ways events are discussed in the literature. The focus changed from a logistical, operational, or categorical purview to being considered from a “social constructed staged experience” in every phase of an event (Orefice, 2018, p. 20). The participant experience has become central in event discussions and must be considered throughout every facet of events (Breiter & Milman, 2006; Jung & Tanford, 2017; Larson et al, 2015; Liu et al, 2017; Mackellar, 2006; Mair, 2010; Pope et al, 2017; Rittichainuwat & Mair, 2012).…”

When considering the field of events, an important initial step is to consider the definition of an event. The goal of this article was twofold, first to take a novel approach in defining an event by considering the contextual aspects of an event from the traditional definitions, but adding the perspective of the attendee; and second to develop a typology focused on a unified definition of the field of events relational to the extant literature. The definition of an event is an occurrence that has a time element, two or more participants, is planned, and is a unique opportunity. A systematic review of extant literature was conducted in order to define the field of events. A total of 95 articles were analyzed. The field of events is characterized as having four major categories: professional, entertainment, social, and common cause. Within these four categories there are 20 types of events, all of which meet the four components of the definition of an event.

“…The second stream is the outcome of that value creation process, which considers how the different stakeholders in the network recognise the benefits of the value created. Several authors have highlighted the importance of a network of stakeholders or actors in facilitating event value creation (Chesbrough, 2002;Gummerus, 2013;Massa, Tucci, & Afuah, 2017;Orefice, 2018). Similarly, the definition of a value network given by Allee (2009, p. 429) is "purposeful group of people or organizations creating social and economic good through complex dynamic exchanges of tangible and intangible value".…”

“…This definition emphasises the role of key actors (Osterwalder & Pigneur, 2010) in value creation within a value network (Agrawal & Rahman, 2015;Chesbrough, 2002). Key actors must build a relationship with each other (Håkansson & Olsen, 2012) to exchange and integrate resources and competencies to produce value (Greer, Lusch, & Vargo, 2016;Merz, He, & Vargo, 2009; Copyright © Cognizant Communication Corporation 9 MS 20 029 Event Management E-pub Orefice, 2018;Pera, Occhiocupo, & Clarke, 2016). Scott (2008) also suggests that value is created through generated rules, norms and beliefs of the actors in the network.…”

This study explores the role of networks in generating economic value for event tourism in towns and smaller cities in the UK. While networks have been shown to create a wide range of value, research in this context is limited and little is understood of if or how economic value is generated. The lens used in this study was the value creating side of the business model canvas with local government organisations as the focal node examining the flow of economic value from partners, activities and resources. There were survey responses from 112 different town and city organisations across the UK. The study found that only the ‘activities’ element of the network contributed significantly to creating economic value in an event tourism context. The network components of ‘partners’ and ‘resources’ were not on their own significant to the creation of economic value. The outcomes of this paper suggest that practitioners in towns and cities should strategise their engagement with local networks through a formal event tourism strategy that clearly defines how they operationalise engagement activities within that network in order the facilitate economic value creation. In addition, the paper raises questions around what resources are needed at the focal node (local government organisations) in order to maximise the economic value created by the network.

“…This foundational perspective was developed by events academicians (e.g. Berridge, 2007;Bladen et al, 2012;2018;Brown & James, 2004) to encompass an application to designdriven events, which saw proposed development of event management practice beyond the more popular staging of event logistics, in order to meet the planned management objectives of the event. Thus, while event cycles and project planning practices remained relevant, the essence of the delivery of unique and personalised event attendee experiences began much more to be articulated in terms of sensory stimulation through sensory cues.…”
