Summer Weather Risk and the Events Industry: GCMA to Host DTN Webinar

Weather remains one of the most significant external risks facing outdoor events, festivals, and public gatherings. From extreme heat and lightning to sudden storms and high winds, weather conditions can directly impact crowd safety, operational planning, and decision-making for event organisers and public safety professionals.

Global Crowd Management Alliance® (GCMA) will host a webinar focused on the summer weather outlook and its implications for the events industry, delivered by global weather intelligence provider DTN on Tuesday, 21 April at 19:00 BST / 20:00 CEST / 14:00 EDT / 11:00 PDT / Wed 22 · 04:00 AEST

This session will provide a forward-looking view of expected weather patterns for the upcoming summer season, helping event professionals understand emerging risks and how they may affect planning, operations, and contingency strategies.

During the webinar, DTN’s meteorologists will explore:

• Key weather trends expected for the summer season ahead

• How heat, storms, lightning, and severe weather patterns may affect outdoor events

• The growing role of weather intelligence in event safety planning

• Practical considerations for organisers, venues, and safety teams

The webinar is designed for event organisers, crowd safety professionals, venue operators, public authorities, and anyone involved in planning or managing live events where weather conditions may influence safety and operational decisions.

The session forms part of GCMA’s ongoing commitment to sharing knowledge, advancing good practices, and supporting safer outcomes across the global crowd management community.
