Transportable Environments Conference, Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada

Abstract.
The event organizers use of structures in the event business has changed in the last 20 years from necessity to choice. Temporary environments have been used for some the largest events ever held. The largest music festivals in the world, the most significant fashion show in the world, the largest one night dance event in the world, the exhibition for the ‘Earth Summit’ in Johannesburg, the largest business conference held in a temporary structure (Bakersfield CA), the MTV Europe Awards and the first ever European tour of a number one rock band housed entirely in membrane structures (for Radiohead). The driving force for this acceptance of the temporary venue is twofold; first, the high level of engineering that allows the promoter to safely house and insure major events and two, the realization of large span temporary structures which allow the required capacity to ensure economic successes. This is the background to the development of the largest portable event venues the world has ever seen.
