ABSTRACT
This chapter will look at the big picture of how – and why – to design an event using principles of play. It will focus on playful event design, examining the working practices, approaches, and relationships that support the design and implementation of playful events, particularly in organisations that typically take more traditional approaches. The chapter will explore the practicalities of playful design, potential pitfalls and limitations, and ways of convincing others of the value of playful approaches.
