Latest updates for the ATLAS Event Experiences Project.
Report on the research activities of the ATLAS Events Group for 2014, including the ATLAS Events Monitoring Project.
A bibliography of the publications of the ATLAS Events Group between 2013 and 2024. This includes books, journal articles and special issues.
The theme of the meeting was the role of events as platforms for supporting and developing networks and communities. Events are increasingly being used by places as a means to attract attention, form networks and build communities. This is of importance not just in terms of developing social cohesion in the contemporary network society, but also for the value creation activities of enterprises and the place promotion campaigns of public authorities. A presentation by Greg Richards during the track also outlined the ‘city as platform’ concept, within which events are become ng important catalysts for the development of city platforms and networks. The papers presented in the track dealt with a number of key themes, including the relationship between networks and identity, the role of event networks in community building, the social effects of event platforms, cities as platforms for events, industry-based event platforms and the relationship between online and offline networks.

Event experiences: measurement and meaning2020 •
This paper provides an introduction to Special Issue on ‘Event Experiences: Measurement and Meaning’. It reviews the research conducted by the ATLAS Event Group over the past decade, and highlights the interplay between qualititative and quantitative research on events during this period. Major research themes related to the event experience are analysed, including the social dimension of events, event design, visitor engagement, eventful cities and event networks and platforms. The different quantative and qualitative contributions to the issue are introduced and compared.

Event Experience Research Directions2019 •
This chapter reviews the field of event experience research, identifying major trends and setting out research directions for the future. Experiences are often viewed as the core of events and are therefore a key concern for event management and design. Much research has therefore focussed on the way in which experiences are produced and consumed within events, which are often viewed as special setting outside of everyday life. Recent research has extended to the complete visitor journey, considering what happens before and after the event as well. Future directions for event experience research suggested here include the development of improved measurement tools, examining the linkages between different elements of the event experience, the co-creation of value through event experiences, the development of 'event careers' among visitors and the application of new technologies to event experience research.

Report of the ATLAS Event SIG meeting at the ATLAS Annual Conference in Girona, September 2019.
Increased interest in events is reflected in the explosive growth in event related research worldwide. Much of this research concentrates on different aspects of the visitor experience of events, such as satisfaction, perceptions of service quality and intention to return. However, much of this research is conducted on an ad-hoc, single event basis. Relatively little comparative research on different events has yet be conducted. In order to increase the comparative dimension of event research the ATLAS Event Monitoring research project was established in 2012. Using a standard base questionnaire, the survey is designed to generate comparable information on visitor experience from a range of different events. This paper reports on the initial findings of the project, covering a range of different events from Portugal and Finland. A range of different dimensions of the visitor experience are analysed, including the degree of participation, the generation of emotional energy (Collins, 2004), experiencing novelty and social cohesion. These initial results indicate that there are considerable differences in participant engagement according to the type and location of event. The paper discusses the main factors affecting involvement and the ways in which event organisers can increase levels of engagement.

A Research Agenda for Event Impacts2022 •
Events research draws inspiration from and builds on a wide range of interdisciplinary approaches across the social sciences, physical sciences, arts and humanities, and business and management literatures (see Andrews and Leopold, 2013; Van Niekerk, 2017). Events today play a key role in planning and development decisions, and they contribute to image formation and place brands, because in many cases when an event is hosted, people recognize the event and use it to associate with places (Cudny, 2020; Hahm et al., 2019). All events have or create an impact, which leaves an impression on people, places, and/or environments. The timeliness of this book is also a chance to reflect on how different experiences are measured and managed (Biaett and Richards, 2020).
