In Strategic Planning for Crisis-Ready Events, the latest installment of our Backstage Briefing series, we dive into the essential strategies event professionals need to prepare for the unexpected — from natural disasters and protests to onsite emergencies.
Join us on Monday, June 23 at 12 p.m. EST, as we hear from Mike Carlucci, Chief Operating Officer, Clarion Events, and Lisa Werner, Founding Partner and Lead Consultant, VWV Consulting, who will share real-world lessons in identifying risks early, preparing teams, and responding with speed and clarity when crises hit.
Our speakers will share candid insights, lessons learned, and what planners should consider when planning events.
This session is for planners seeking clear, actionable steps to improve crisis-readiness across their events — from vendor coordination to staff training and venue alignment.
Attendees will learn how to develop effective emergency plans, manage communications in real time, and make high-stakes decisions under pressure, including evacuations, cancellations, and on-the-fly pivots.
Leave with the tools to plan more confidently, respond more decisively, and protect your attendees, reputation, and bottom line.
