This special issue has at its centre the theme Event Futures: innovation, creativity and
collaboration. This theme was the basis of the Association for Events Management
Education (AEME) annual forum hosted at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 5–7 July 2017.
Accordingly, it is gratifying to see some of the papers presented at the Forum make their
way through the editorial process, to emerge here in published format.
The annual AEME forum and the International Journal of Event and Festival
Management are communication forms. They have a symbiotic role in the future of
events education and research. Events have evolved and changed through time, raising
both challenges and opportunities for the practitioner, the educator and the researcher alike.
It is through a combination of collaborative activity and forwards thinking that the progress
of events will continue to evolve. This special issue offers a record of some of the discussion,
debate and vision of that evolution. The contributing papers highlight current and future
success in academic and applied contexts.
