This anthology is an attempt to make sense of conferences and trade fairs as phenomena in contemporary society. The authors describe how these large-scale professional gatherings have become key sites for making and negotiating both industries and individual professions. In fact, during the past few decades, conferences and trade fairs have become a significant global industry in their own right. The editors assert that large-scale professional gatherings are remarkable events that require deeper analysis and scholarly attention. 

Exploring the lives of Britons and Swedes living in mobile homes, the book delves into the organization of daily life in these unique settings. It examines how caravans and campsites both conform to and disrupt traditional notions of home and domesticity. Through this lens, the author provides insights into the cultural and social dynamics at play in these communities.
