Experiencing Event Management During the Coronavirus Pandemic: A Public Sector Perspective

Abstract: Events have played a significant role in the way in which the Coronavirus pandemic has been experienced and known around the world. Little is known though about how the pandemic has impacted on supporting, managing and governing events in municipal (i.e., local) authorities as key stakeholders, nor how events have featured in the opening-up of localities. This paper reports on empirical research with senior events officers for local authorities in the UK on these key knowledge gaps. Specifically, it examines e… Show more

“…Beyond forced cancellations and postponements of events, the data suggested that those engaged in community events view the pandemic as influential towards festival-goer behaviours. As evidenced by Coles et al (2022), the pandemic significantly impacted events and based on respondents' accounts here, continued to have ripple effects on community events throughout Scotland. Unlike regional, national and mega-events, community events rely heavily on volunteers, community organisations and other stakeholders for support (Kotani and Yokomatsu, 2018).…”

Specifically, this article addresses the following two research questions:…”

“…Events and the places that host them exist in a state of continuous evolution, not least because of the political, socio-economic and environmental threats and instabilities that continue to reverberate across our interconnected world. The internationally felt COVID-19 pandemic, for instance, constituted an enormous shock to the sector in recent years, and much has now been written about how festivals and events navigated the crisis and evolved in its aftermath (Coles et al , 2022; Davies, 2021; Estanyol, 2022).
