Event Compass™ is the brainchild of this small group of central figures from the world of event research.

Professor Donald Getz is the worlds most recognized researcher for everything and anything related to events.

Associate Professor Steve Brown is a prominent figure in event-circles in probably the most festival-dense region of the world (Adelaide, Australia), bringing with him an extensive resume of practical experience from a lifetime of staging events. 

Associate Professor Robert Pettersson made a name for himself investigating events connected to indigenous peoples. Being a natural leader, he now spearheads the public-private interface of Mid Sweden University, making research understood and viable in the commercial sphere.
