Rezensionen

"Every event is unique and organizers should analyze how it most effectively can contribute to global sustainable transition. This book is a practical tool for that work, both for new event managers and experienced ones, taking their first steps towards sustainability. Even experienced sustainability managers will find plenty of inspiration in the updated best practices from around the world." - Mikkel Sander, Sustainability Manager, Roskilde Festival

"I consider this book, now into its third edition, to be a must-read for students of events and a necessary addition to every event scholar's bookshelf. Sustainability is more than just green operations, and Meegan Jones makes it clear that it involves multiple stakeholders, a comprehensive vision, and detailed planning and evaluation systems. You need a guide to continuous improvement, and this book provides the tools." - Donald Getz, Professor Emeritus, the University of Calgary, Canada

"Events thrive on the spirit of joy and fun. Sustainable Event Management shows that this does not need to be at the expense of social and environmental responsibility. The opposite is true. With lots of practical tools, Meegan Jones illustrates how events need to be managed to create a lasting, positive impression for all stakeholders. This publication is the reference book for my students and a rich source of inspiration and guidance for every event manager." - Rolf Schwery, Event Consultant and Lecturer at the Center for Development and Environment (CDE), University of Berne, Switzerland

This nicely readable book goes deeper into existing theories but is also a must have for newbies!" - Martijn Hulshof, Owner of MovendiuM, (Sustainable) Traffic Management for Events

"Sustainability continues to be a vital issue for event managers, and this book provides an excellent resource for anyone interested in this area. Well written and easy to read, Sustainable Event Management provides great examples of events that are exceeding expectations and demonstrating best practice in sustainability management, information that will be valuable for practitioners and academics alike." - Judith Mair, The University of Queensland, Australia
