FINAL AND EXTENDED CALL FOR PANELLISTS FOR Green Events and Innovations conference

On behalf of AEME Sustainability SIG, we are really pleased to announce that AEME will again be delivering an academic session at Green Events and Innovations 18 (GEI18) with A Greener Future. The 1-hour session will adopt a ‘question time’ format focus upon ‘AI at festivals and events’.

 

GEI18 is at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London on 24th February 2026 and is delivered in partnership with the International Live Music Conference. The AEME session will be chaired by Adrian Bossey. This session follows on from our successful AEME panels at GEI17, GEI16 and GEI15.

 

In this call for panellists, we are looking for academics from AEME member institutions whose research around festivals/events supports or considers AI usage, including linkages to sustainability. If you are interested in contributing to the panel, please send a brief expression of interest covering your areas of expertise, relevant research outputs to date, involvement in any relevant projects with industry and motivation for presenting (max 500 words) to Dr Mary Beth Gouthro mgouthro@bournemouth.ac.uk

 

Successful applicants will be selected to ensure balance of expertise across the panel by members of the AEME Sustainability Special interest Group and A Greener Future.  AEME members are eligible to apply for travel cost support of up to £250 from AEME (on provision of receipts) provided this helps to assist with expressions of interest.  Any queries, do contact Mary Beth.
