Abstract
The event sector is project based. Unlike sport, for example, it does not have centralised administration, such as FIFA or the IOC, to create the governance rules. The event associations are not able to enforce codes of conduct, except by expelling members. It is really a free for all type of industry. This is its attraction and source of its creativity. It is also its attraction for corrupt conduct.
