A Non-Technical Look at Meeting Security

1 Clock Hour | Domain C: Risk Management 

Controversial topics and speakers, challenging locations, gate crashers, crime, passion, alcohol and human frailty can lead to an interesting meeting if even one of them rears its ugly head. Among the issues to be discussed will be: how to work effectively with public safety officers before, during and after an issue arises, tools for training staff and clients to address crises, strategies for working with staff and clients during an incident, what law enforcement cannot do for you, and what you must do for yourself and your event.

Learning Objectives:

• Implement techniques to mitigate potential security issues including methods recommended by law enforcement
• Develop methods for training staff and clients in handling security concerns, including communication with first responders and the press
• Formulate meeting security plans and identify measurable strengths and weaknesses
