Generations of event managers have been trained in event marketing with the help of the 4 Ps (product, price, place, promotion). When it worked well, three more Ps were added (personnel, processes, physical locations) to explore the special features of the event industry as a service industry. With the VITER model, Ivna Reic (2016) presents a concept for a consumer-centered marketing approach that revolutionises the event management process by focussing on value, information, tangibles, experience and relationships.
