Event management - A special kind of project management

Event management is a strong and fast growing profession with a rather low level of standardization. Often we take event management as a part of project management, but we have to consider that event management has very specific concepts and issues, and needs further developed methods and tools. We classify events, we compare project management and event management, we reconsider standards in both areas, and discuss perspectives for a stronger standardization of event management in the future.
