“…They also entail major capital invested in venues, facilities and transport, and drive a number of planning imperatives. Richards and Palmer (2010) pointed out that competition between cities in a crowded field of images is one of the major factors stimulating cities to adopt branding strategies that seek to transform traditional cultural capital into a competitive lead through the staging of cultural events and the construction of cultural landmarks. Re-presenting and re-imaging cities through such events is both a competitive strategy but also a reflection of the "festivalization of the city" (Richards & Palmer, 2010).…”

“…Richards and Palmer (2010) pointed out that competition between cities in a crowded field of images is one of the major factors stimulating cities to adopt branding strategies that seek to transform traditional cultural capital into a competitive lead through the staging of cultural events and the construction of cultural landmarks. Re-presenting and re-imaging cities through such events is both a competitive strategy but also a reflection of the "festivalization of the city" (Richards & Palmer, 2010). These hallmark events also present a dualistic challenge to their hosts -between the temporal/ephemeral nature of the event and its permanent legacy, and between the "host" audience and the outside world -that should be carefully coordinated.…”

“…The role of events has expanded significantly since the 1960s to the point where they have come to be considered as solutions to a wide range of urban problems (Richards & Palmer, 2010). According to Harvey (1989), cities have tried to adjust themselves to complex new economic and social circumstances Erna Husukić, Emina Zejnilović, Dimelli Despina, Ayse Erek, and Nika Ðuho -9789004542389 Downloaded from Brill.com 06/02/2024 07:58:16AM via Open Access.…”

“…The unique and unforgettable experiences that events can provide to visitors can have a positive impact on their quality of life, happiness and well-being (Armbrecht & Andersson, 2019;Fredman & Margaryan, 2020;Armbrecht, 2021). Therefore, temporary communitas and the events of the experience offer can be a great opportunity to strengthen the individual and group identity of visitors (Richards & Palmer, 2010), as well as to educate and inspire people to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle (Mair & Smith, 2021). Zifkos (2015) suggest that events can act as "incubators of change" (p. 10).…”

This paper aims to identify the importance of organizing green events from the perspective of different stakeholders, as well as possible solutions that event organizers can use to make their events greener. The large number of people who gather, the short duration, and the significant impact they have on the environment in which they are held, have led to the fact that events are often considered the "antithesis of sustainability". This paper seeks to review the literature to determine the relationship between events and sustainability, and then, on the example of the Belgrade Beer Fest, to identify ways that, even events that are not primarily organized for this reason, can contribute to improving the sustainability of the destination.

“…All events have impacts and legacies which include cultural, environmental, social and economy impacts (Sadd & Jones, 2009;Raj et al, 2017). The sustainability of events depends on the direct and indirect effects of the events (Richards & Palmer, 2010). The evidence to the sustainability of the event is the legacy of the events which provide evidence to gain public support, to justify the use of public resources and to motivate others to bid for hosting the future events (Liu, 2018).…”

The definitions of legacy and various tools of measuring legacy impacts from different perspectives were reviewed. Sarawak Convention Bureau’s initiative to enhance business events with a legacy programme as catalysts to the Sarawak Government Development Plan towards 2030 along the seven key focus areas and the United Nation 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has established five pillars of legacy impacts. Using the BESLegacy Initiative Guideline, the strategic pursuit of measuring the legacy impacts of the 1st International Conference on Education in the Digital Ecosystem (ICEdDE) 2019 were mapped. Methodologically, this paper is based on a case study. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected supplemented by official documents. In the framework of planning to measure immediate outcomes, short, medium and long-term legacy impacts, the legacy plan provided evidence of being able to function as a model for forecasting the tangible and intangible impacts of the ICEdDE 2019. The immediate outcomes and short-term impacts were assessed using a questionnaire gathered from Sarawak participants. The respondents agreed to strongly agreed to the immediate impacts that the conventions had on them based on the eight domains. From the perspectives of convention host and the delegates, it was still very much traditionally perceived that the biggest value from conventions came from Knowledge Expansion. This was the main reason for wanting to attend the convention to listen to the deliberations of knowledge that was new or created through collaborations and shared from presenters particularly the keynote, plenary and invited speakers. They agreed networking and relationship building was also a motivator. In a broader outlook, only the host indicated other domains of Fundraising and Philanthropic support, Raising Awareness and Profiling and Trade though exhibitions as immediate and long-term impact which could be quantified and measured. However, the delegates pre-conceived such domains as secondary. The case study on ICEdDE 2019 measuring the short, medium, and long-term legacy impacts was able to show significant contribution to the development of Sarawak digital economy in education and service development industry towards achieving 5 United Nation SDGs.
