Abstract:
This book offers a synthesis of current research-based understanding relating to people and work opportunities in the events and conventions industry. The book is organized into five parts. The first two chapters set the scene with respect to events and employment within the sector, focusing on a global review and an Australian case context. Subsequent parts consider education and career development in the events and convention sector (chapters 3-7), workplace flexibility in the context of events (chapters 8-9), recruitment and retention (chapters 10-12), and the management of people and work in events and conventions (chapters 13-16). The book has a subject index.
