Organised by the Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change, Sheffield Hallam University, UK, in association with IFEA Europe, the conference entitled Journeys of Expression: Cultural Festivals/Events & Tourism will provide a forum for discussing and debating key issues surrounding the inter-relationships between cultural festivals/events and tourism. The speed of global change has an immediate impact on our festival and event culture – in the artistic field as well as in the field of marketing and communication. New trends emerge; geographical, sensual, technical and cultural borders are crossed; taboos are broken; genres intermingle. What impact do these changes have on our work, our culture and our way of life? On which path will art lead us? Does integrity still have a place in culture, in events? Does artistic culture have a future? The conference participants will be taken into a maelstrom of the culture and event business, to investigate the different demands on those working in the field of culture, to celebrate success, analyse failure and discover solutions.
