Introduction
Sustainability in event management cascades across all process functions
throughout the journey, whether the event is of small, medium, large or
mega size; sustainability practices must be adapted as part of the role of
every event manager.
Following the discussion in Chapter 1 about the Sustainable Project
Management Model (SPMM), here we present a multi-layered Sustainable
Events Management Model (SEMM) (Figure 9.1) that is derived from the
SPMM. It is as a tool that aims to provide domain experts, practitioners and
researchers with a detailed step-by-step approach towards the implementa-
tion of the model across all event management functions and process com-
ponents. Thus, this model will cover pre, during and post event activities
categorised per each functional dimension to ensure the maximum benefit
for the event manager.
