Recent developments in QCD phenomenology have spurred on several improved approaches to Monte Carlo event generation, relative to the post‐LEP state of the art. In this brief review, the emphasis is placed on approaches for 1) consistently merging fixed‐order matrix element calculations with parton showers, 2) improving the parton shower algorithms themselves, and 3) improving the description of the underlying event in hadron collisions.
