Continuing Professional Development or Continuing to Develop the Professionals?
University of Huddersfield, Huddersfield, 18-19 June 2009

AEME (the Association for Events Management Education) is pleased to announce the seventh forum for events management education, hosted by the University of Huddersfield. The main aim of the 7th forum is to explore the roles, in partnership, that industry and educators have in continuing to develop current and future events professionals, including through continuing professional development.

The AEME Forum provides an opportunity for AEME members, and non-members, interested in events management education to join together and debate the importance now attached to ‘Continuing Professional Development or Continuing to Develop the Professionals’, whether that relates to our own methods of preparing students, professional development initiatives, or developing employability of graduates. Examples of knowledge transfer and joint collaborations with industry partners are especially welcome.
 
The Forum will include presentations and workshops covering aspects of research, pedagogy and industrial practice as they relate to the over-riding theme, although the format of the event is purposefully set as a forum so that all participants can have active involvement in the programme.

There has been a massive growth of research relating to festivals and events over recent years. Much of this has been precipitated by, or has at least resonated with, a policy discourse that presents festivals and events as ‘good’ socio-culturally and economically.  There has also been an explosion of university courses. Events management programmes (including specialist provision concerned with the arts, culture or sport, for example) now proliferate internationally. Moreover, modules on festivals and events have become a common feature of tourism and related courses.
