Written by a leader in the field, this practical, step-by-step guide leads readers through the key aspects of how to understand and manage the impacts of events of any type and scale. The product of tried-and-tested methods used across the event industry, coverage includes an overview of sustainable event management and detailed discussion of energy, transport, water, waste supply chains, and communications . Readers are provided with checklists for action and tools for measuring performance. Numerous examples and case studies from across the world are integrated throughout . Festivals profiled include:
' Burning Man, Rothbury & Bonnaroo Festivals, USA
' Glastonbury and Reading Festivals, UK
' Boom Festival, Portugal

' Meredith, Peats Ridge, Southbound and Big Day Out Festivals in Australia
