Sustainability in Events Management provides upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students with a comprehensive framework for designing, managing and evaluating events that balance environmental, social and economic priorities. In line with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this textbook connects theory with practice to prepare students for responsible and impactful careers in event management.

Focusing on the triple bottom line (TBL) of people, planet and profit, this textbook explores how sustainability can be embedded across every stage of the event lifecycle from selecting venues and catering suppliers to stakeholder engagement and post-event evaluation.
