Important Tips for Planning Special Event Security Measures - PART 1:
Planning a great event is tough and if you’re like most event hosts, your first priority is making sure your attendees have a great time.
Though fantastic entertainment and engaging speakers will help, they’re not the only things you need to worry about. The most important concern for every event should always be the safety and security of your attendees, staff, and guests.
Special event security involves a lot of coordination and communication between different teams. If you’re not prepared, it can be difficult to make sure everything goes off without a hitch.
Here are a few simple tips to help you keep your event safe and secure at all times.
1.Consider the Venue
Every venue will have different and unique risks. This means you’ll want to think about how the venue will impact the safety of your team, your attendees, and your speakers.
Take the time to map out the emergency exits and note possible hazards that could become an issue. These can be anything from unmonitored back doors to tripping hazards caused by old carpet.
Work with a security company that will help you analyze the venue and compile a list of all possible issues before the big day. Once you have that list, you can make a plan to address those hazards and keep everyone safe.
2. Understand the Types of Risks Associated with Your Event
Think about the type of event you’re hosting. Are there going to be controversial speakers or controversial topics discussed? Could the event attract people that might try to disrupt things?
If so, you’ll need to plan for those types of activities.
Starting with an honest assessment of your event can help you determine the level of risk involved. Look at previous events that happened in your area and events where your speakers participated in the past. Did they attract specific types of disturbances? If so, find out what happened so you can protect your event against those specific disturbances.
3. Work with an Experienced Special Event Security Team
An experienced events security staff should always oversee the security efforts at your event. Think of it this way: you understand what your attendees want to see and experience at the event. You specialize in your industry. Security teams specialize in keeping venues and event attendees safe. They know what threats to look for and can assess the building for possible issues quickly and easily. This allows them to prepare the venue for the event more easily and improves the effectiveness of their security efforts.
