An exciting large-scale conference, Public Venues & Events Safety & Security highlights the roles and frameworks for security professionals in effectively managing the safety and security of the people at public venues and events. This event will be held on the 27th February – 1st March, 2017, in Singapore with brand new and innovative conference formats, proudly hosted by Marcus Evans.
Systematic review and feedback session
It is unfortunate that event organisers learn to react and manage better from previous disasters. Michael James Kelly, the Chief Fire Officer of The Dubai Waterfront pointed out that, “Many things can be learnt from an ill managed public event; a systematic review and feedback session post event gives the opportunity for all venue staff to feed into any cause and effect matrix where critical points within the preparation had failed and lessons learned.”
Costs are often one of the critical factors which are not receiving the right attention when it comes to the issue of event security. “Careful planning and early involvement of security experts is important which requires time, resources, and attention. Mostly event organisers want to keep security costs as low as possible to reduce the overall costs for events,” said Jan Dalheimer, Regional Security Director Asia, Save the Children, Singapore, who is also one of the esteemed speakers at the event. “This often leads to last minute involvement of safety & security specialists who are basically asked to sign-off on an event without having been given the opportunity for a careful security risk and/or site assessment.”
