Band-Aids to Bad Guys
Acts of violence against large gatherings of people are becoming more commonplace and the count is growing. These acts of hostility seem to happen more often and in more vulnerable places, especially where people gather. It’s not a matter of if it’ll happen to your group, but when.
We can’t prevent all security risks, but we can mitigate many things and learn how to react when safety is an issue. What are you doing to make your conferences and meeting safer and more secure? Are you doing it the right way?
This session is an overview of safety and security and asks the questions that you, as a planner, will want to answer as you prepare to help keep your attendees safer. From Band-Aids to Bad Guys, get an idea of the scope of planning it takes and why a safety mindset from the minute you begin to plan your event is invaluable.
Learner Outcomes
• Apply a downline overview of safety
• Educate & engage staff and coworkers
• Develop input you need from stakeholders

Don't Overlook the Obvious: Safety & Site Selection
With acts of violence in the news so often, you’re probably thinking of ways to keep your meeting and your attendees safe. But are you overlooking a key element? What about the venue? Is it a help or a hindrance? There are ways the venue can help in your safety plan to keep you, your staff, your stakeholders and your attendees safer. This session offers points and takeaways on how to conduct a site visit from a safety and security perspective. Venues are easy to overlook. Make sure you don’t forget to include them.
Learner Outcomes
• Discover unknown safety concerns
• Interpret how venues can influence safety
• Make use of site visit checklists

Don't be a Hero. Just be Ready.
Event safety can be an overwhelming and daunting task. However, all you need to do is start with one thing. This session looks at how to begin the process of writing an Emergency Response Plan (ERP). Using guidelines and polices from federal agencies, see how to do a threat assessment and begin preparing for those threats and walk away with the genesis of your own plan.
Learner Outcomes
• Identify federal emergency guidelines
• Examine a risk assessment illustration
• Formulate the first step of your own plan
