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. If you're interested in presenting a paper during the
conference, please send us an abstract of no more than 300 words. Please
email if you would like to discuss any ideas ([log in to unmask]). If you
do not wish to present a paper but want to attend the conference, you may
register as a visiting delegate. Please find more details about the
programme and registration fees on the conference website:
