Review
"Creating Enduring Festivals is a welcome and much-needed addition to the growing body of event education literature. Ros Derrett brings great experience and insight to the enduring world of festivals, illustrated by a wide variety of case studies of festivals across the globe. - John Allen AM, Foundation Director, Australian Centre for Event Management, University of Technology, Sydney, Co-Chair of Judges, Australian Event Awards
"A good piece of art impacts and resonates with each individual in different ways; inspiring, teaching, leading the imagination on new journeys to new destinations. Ros Derrett has succeeded in creating a dynamic mosaic that allows the reader (professional or student) to reflect upon and explore each piece individually, while never losing sight of how all of the pieces must fit and work together to create an enduring festival masterpiece. The greatest legacies that we can leave for our industry and global communities are to never quit learning from what has come before and to never quit imagining the possibilities of what lies ahead. Creating Enduring Festivals provides a pathway to both destinations". - Steven Wood Schmader, CFEE, President and CEO, International Festivals and Events Association (IFEA) World Headquarters, "The Premiere Association Supporting and Enabling Festival and Event Professionals Worldwide"
"Finally the considerable experience and wisdom of Dr Ros Derrett has been captured in her latest book Creating Enduring Festivals, providing the perfect resource for event planners, managers and students. Over her extensive career, Ros has identified the key elements of enduring festivals and has now compiled the many aspects of event management in her unique mosaic approach. This book significantly contributes to our knowledge of festivals and to what makes them succeed over time, providing unique and personal insights into the key elements of success." - Jo Mackellar PhD, Former Post Doctoral Fellow - Griffith University, Australia, Manager - Destination Research and Development
