This webinar will describe the three primary safety and security objectives of any concert or special event—regardless of venue size or location. Accomplishing these three seemingly simplistic and obvious objectives do not necessarily guarantee a successful event, but a failure of any of them can directly lead to mishaps and even catastrophes. The webinar will provide historical and recent examples of failures to meet these three primary objectives, will detail the financial business case for these objectives, and will include measures to mitigate against failing these safety and security objectives. The information will be useful for venue security staff, executive protection specialists, corporate security personnel, event managers, talent management staff, and others.
