Security, Risk and Crisis Management Online - 6 September - 4 October 2022

  • Registration Closed

Protecting the financial integrity of exhibitions and events is critical, and an essential element of that goal is proper risk assessment and planning. Risk management is a continuing process that identifies, analyzes, evaluates and addresses loss exposures and monitors risk control and financial resources for the purpose of mitigating the undesirable effects of loss. This involves evaluating the security needs for an event and if a crisis should occur, having a crisis management team in place to manage it. This is an ongoing process, it is more than a one time process.  

After completing this course, the participant should be able to: 

  • List security components of site selection
  • Identify the security needs of exhibitions and events
  • Identify essential elements of a request for proposal for a security vendor
  • Evaluate security requests for proposal responses to hire a competent security contractor
