The events industry is undergoing fundamental change. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, this has meant the cancellation and postponement of events and a move towards online and hybrid strategies. Looking to the future, the ‘new normal’ for the events industry will be characterised by a quite different, transformed, events landscape which will require a thorough reimagining and reshaping of existing methods, techniques and practices.''Reimagining and Reshaping Events: Theoretical and practical perspectives'' is a unique and user-friendly text which advances managerial views on how the event industry is transforming.
