> The Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change at Sheffield Hallam University, UK organises the research stream of the 12th annual conference of the International Festival and Event Association (IFEA) Europe held in Vienna, Austria on the 6th - 9th March 2003.
>
> After the very successful research stream organised during the 2002 conference held in Bonn, Germany we decided to continue the experience and are glad to offer again an international discussion platform to academics, researchers, professionals and practitioners. In Bonn, over 150 international participants from 23 different countries were given the opportunity to meet, discuss and exchange their ideas and experiences around thematic key issues and case studies.
>
> In accordance to IFEA's members' activities and interests, the Vienna conference will again provide a forum for discussing and debating key issues surrounding the inter-relationship between cultural festivals/events and tourism. Amongst the topics to be discussed during the Vienna 2003 conference will be:
>
>
>
> - Management, economic evaluation and planning of festivals and events;
>
> - Cultural festivals and events as a tool for urban and rural regeneration;
>
> - Expressions of heritage, identity and place through festivals and events;
>
> - Developing tourism markets for arts and folk festivals;
>
> - Festivals and events in change communication and "emotional" marketing.
>
>
>
> Contributions in form of case studies, evaluations or theoretical perspectives are all acceptable. The dead-line for the call for abstracts is 30th October 2002.
