9th AEME Events Management Educators Forum

Glenn Bowdin

Securing the Future
University of Wolverhampton, Telford, 13-14 July 2011

AEME (the Association for Events Management Education) is pleased to announce the ninth forum for events management education, hosted by the University of Wolverhampton at their Telford Campus in Priorslee. The main aim of the 9th forum is to explore the theme of "Securing the Future" in relation to the challenges that the industry and education face moving forward.

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 Securing the Future, whether that relates to our own methods of preparing students and graduates, professional development initiatives, developing employability of graduates, continuing professional development and also the dealing with the challenges that the industry faces. 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.
