AEME (Association for Events Management Education)

Extract from introduction, 'The subject area of events management is progressing as a discipline, with an increasing number of qualifications being offered with ‘events’ in the title. In addition, anecdotal evidence suggests that there are hundreds of modules covering the principles of events management within hospitality, tourism and leisure courses, together with coverage in PR and business related courses.

This resource guide has been developed to direct academics who teach events management towards sources of information that can inform and develop their teaching, therefore improving the quality of their teaching, learning and assessment in relation to events management. It is worth noting that, at the time of writing, there are moves to launch a subject association for events management education in order to provide an academic home for people teaching this subject – please contact the author should you be interested in being kept informed of developments in this area.'
