“This year’s agenda really does reflect the times we live in and the complex challenges that confront everyone involved in the production and staging of live events,” emphasised Event Safety Alliance President Jim Digby. “From traditional safety concerns to the health and weather threats that have become part of the modern event industry, this year’s agenda is going to take a serious look at all of the things that live event professionals really need to plan for as part of a complete event safety plan.”
Echoing those comments, Take1 Insurance Executive Vice President & Program Director, Scott Carroll emphasised: “As an insurance provider, safety must be the number one consideration of everyone involved in event production. Nothing takes priority over considering every possible threat and having a contingency plan in place to mitigate those threats.
