Part two: event compliance: risk, health & safety

Learning Outcomes:
With any event there is risk - from rowdy guests at cocktail parties or conferences to a life - threatening riot at a sports event. When something bad happens, fingers are pointed, lawsuits are filed, reputations are ruined, and the emotional and financial consequences are devastating.

We will teach you everything you
need to know about event compliance
in an easy to understand, practical
framework.

This master class is designed for event coordinators by an
event coordinator. It is based on first hand real life event experience.
