Global Event Congress VI



Stream: The Cultural Value of Festivals and Events



As part of the Global Events Congress VI, to be held in Adelaide, South 
Australia 9 – 11 July 2014, we are seeking proposals for papers and 
panels for a one day stream on cultural value as it pertains to 
festivals and cultural events.



Topics will include

· Definitions of culture and cultural value,

· Methods and Measures of culture value and current assessment techniques

· How ‘cultural’ components of cultural value operate alongside more 
traditional economic data

· As well as the theory of cultural value or worth itself.



The Global Events Congress VI is a significant international meeting for 
event and experience design, management and marketing academics, 
researchers and practitioners.



The conference will take place in Adelaide, South Australia and will 
include workshops for academics and events practitioners, and 
opportunities for wine tasting at the conference dinner and in social 
events.



Day 3 of the conference (Friday 11 July 2014) is dedicated to 
considering the Cultural Value of Festivals and Events. Two keynote 
speakers will address these themes. Douglas Gautier, Artistic Director 
and CEO of the Adelaide Festival Centre, will talk about “The Value of a 
Festival” and Professor Julian Meyrick will present his developing 
theory of “Total Cultural Value.”


We call for papers for this stream of the Global Events Congress VI. We 
are looking for papers that address the cultural value of festivals and 
events broadly and will program a day of discussions about where the 
cultural value debate is up to. A publication in the form of a special 
issue of a journal has been negotiated for our stream of cultural value 
with the International Journal of Event and Festival Management and this 
will be negotiated with participants at a later stage.

Please send an abstract of about 300-400 words along with a short 
biographical statement to Dr Tully Barnett (tully.barnett /at/ flinders.edu.au) 
by 31 March 2014
