The marathon was devoted to the broad interdisciplinary treatment of the event as a general social phenomenon. Distinguished representatives from the Slovene media, the state administration, the church, non-government organizations, the business world, the art world, and various scholarly fields attempted to explain the kinds of purposes for which events are used in their fields and what is hoped to be gained by using them. They also reflected on the question of where the, obviously, very extensive phenomenon of the “eventification” of contemporary life might be leading us.
