Professor Joe Goldblatt (born 04 June 1952) is an Emeritus Professor of Planned Events at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh, Scotland. According to John Wiley & Sons publishers Professor Goldblatt is “the foremost authority in the world of events” and he held the world’s only professorial chair in planned event studies for ten years at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh, Scotland.

His first book was described by President Ronald Reagan’s White House Social Secretary as, “A gift from the master”. He is the author of the first textbook in the field of events management that has been continuously published for 33 years. He is also the author, co–author and editor of 35 books in the field of events management.

During his career he produced events featuring President Ronald Reagan, Barbara Bush, Oprah Winfrey and event Donald Trump. His research has included Royal Weddings, the Welcome America Festival in Philadelphia, and the Papal visit of his Holiness Pope Benedict the XVI. His firm produced events at the USA White House, the opening of the Nashville Convention Centre, and the opening of the Trump Taj Mahal Casino and Resort among hundreds of other events.

He was the founding president of the International Special Events Society (ISES) (now known as the International Live Events Association) (ILEA) and was the developer of the original Certified Special Events Professional (CSEP) international qualification program. He has received two honorary professorships from leading Universities in the Peoples Republic of China. He received the first ever Lifetime Achievement award for service to the industry from ISES. Special Events Magazine also awarded him a lifetime achievement award. In 2019, the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce bestowed upon him its Lifetime Achievement Award and he was congratulated for his service to education and business through a personal video message from Scotland’s First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, MSP.

In 2008 he was the first educator to be inducted into the International Festivals and Events Association Hall of Fame. He is the recipient of ILEA’s Klaus Inkamp lifetime achievement award. The City of Edinburgh, Scotland appointed him as a Burgess of the City in 2018 for his charitable and civic acts. In 2017, Professor Goldblatt retired from full-time teaching and academic research and was appointed as the Senior Development and Alumni Associate of Queen Margaret University. In 2019 he retired from the University and was awarded the appointment of Emeritus Professor.

Professor Goldblatt is the Chair of the Edinburgh Interfaith Association, Vice Chair of the Shanghai, China Jewish Refugee Museum, the treasurer of the Edinburgh Interfaith Association, a trustee of the Battle of Prestonpans 1745 Trust, an international advisor to the Scottish Business Network and chair of the Beacons of Hope Fundraising Committee of the Edinburgh Jewish Cultural Centre.

He lives in Edinburgh, Scotland with his wife Nancy and they are the parents of Max, a professional actor and magician and Sam, a Senior Marketing Executive for the Capital Theatres in Edinburgh and the founding producer of the Edinburgh 48 Hour Film Project and the author of The Complete Guide to Greener Meetings and Events (Wiley, 2011).
