Purpose

This special issue is created to pay tribute to the late Dr. Mathilda van Niekerk who served as the Managing Editor of IJCHM and the Founding Co-Editor of JHTI. She was the Guest Editor of the first special issue related to events that were published in 2017. Dr. van Niekerk contributed immensely to cutting edge research and education in the field of event management and we would like to honor that via this special issue.

Papers that reflect Dr. van Niekerk’s disposition towards innovative research in events would be particularly welcome. She was an enthusiastic proponent of event management education, of co-creation with industry, of collaboration between universities, and always emphasized the importance of academic research making a positive contribution to the work of managers, policymakers, communities, and/ or students.

High-quality papers on any aspect of events or contemporary event management are welcome. The following are indicative of the potential breadth of contribution:

• Innovations in events
• New management models for events
• Safety and security in events
• Risk and crisis management in events
• Legal issues in events
• Smart events
• Information Communication Technology (ICT) for events
• Marketing strategies for events
• Environmental management for events
• Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts by events
• Supply and demand side approaches for events
• Stakeholder centric approaches.
• Integrated sustainable approaches to events
• Strategic planning processes for events
