Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Conferences, concerts, sporting fixtures, exhibitions, festivals and national celebrations bring large numbers of people together in a limited space and time. Organisers must be ready for crowd incidents, severe weather, medical emergencies, security threats, power failures and the cancellation of key elements, all under the watchful eye of the public and media.
This Major Event Contingency Planning training course provides a structured approach to planning for the unexpected at events of every size. Participants learn how to assess event risks, design contingency plans and decision triggers, plan crowd safety and emergency procedures, organise event control rooms, coordinate with authorities and communicate with attendees during incidents.
The course draws on lessons from real events and gives participants practical templates for contingency planning, event control and post-event review.
