Past Webinars

"Unusual"... "extreme"... "unprecedented". The weather of today is pulling the rug right out of using past conditions as a means to prepare future expectations. What does tomorrow hold, and how will it impact our crowds and staff? Let's take what we should've seen a long time ago, lets stack up, slack up, and give reality a roll. Our events are under siege from weather like very few times before, and I'd just like to know.

It’s often the case that music artists or their managers will hire a protective security team. This team may vary in size, roles, and responsibilities. Is there an argument that in this era an understanding of crowd management is necessary when providing protective services to music artists? What involvement should the artist's protective security team have around the crowd management of an event? Join me as I discuss my 30 years in the events industry providing protective security for artists, celebrities, and VIP’s & crowd management planning and operational management at events around the world and how the two have combined to enable me to operate at the highest level.

As seasoned professionals in the event industry grow older, what are we doing to train people to take their roles? This is especially critical in the world of event risk management and crowd management which have traditionally been under-discussed at the university level. Ira Rosen has decades of experience in the event production industry and spent 15 years teaching event management at the university level, and he will suggest some practical strategies for ensuring a consistent stream of trained professionals.

“If it doesn’t get measured it doesn’t get done.” We have heard this phrase used on multiple occasions across a variety of areas, well it applies to Inclusion too. For too long we have been told that Leaders should be Inclusive, that teams should be Inclusive and yes, so should departments and organizations. But in most organizations, there is no way to cleanly measure whether that Leader or Team actually are, that is until now. Attendees of this presentation will be introduced to the Inclusive Leadership Assessment™, a way to measure where a person is on their inclusion journey. Using live polling and a dedicated Q and A section this presentation will involve attendees in both the listening and the learning, leaving them with a deeper sense of where they are in their own journey and decisions to make in relation to which path towards inclusion they may want to walk.

Crowd safety isn't magic - there are many complex decisions and lots of hard work to make it appear that way. Simon James and Tim Roberts of The Event Safety Shop will pick up their wands, reach into their top hats, and conjure a variety of topics sure to inform, surprise, and delight.
