The desire to have great events and to make them safe is strong in Asia. Crowd management, risk assessment, counterterrorism and crisis and emergency management are obligatory, crucial concerns for professionals who manage the security and safety of the patrons and spectators who enjoy their venues and events.
With cities in Asia planning more and more global-profile fantastic events, safety practices and records in Asian countries are capturing the world’s attention in the coming years. In response to this, Marcus Evans is proud to present the Public Venue and Event Safety & Security Conference to be held on the 27th February – 1st March 2017 in Singapore. The conference gives attendees the opportunity to connect with their industry colleagues and share knowledge in an interactive setting where experts will demonstrate their best practices test attendees’ readiness and preparation on the spot.
An impressive line-up of speakers include Damian Bush (Senior Director, Venues & Events Management, Sportshub, Singapore), Rick Riding (Accessibility Lead, Sports Ground Safety Authority, United Kingdom), Tan Puay Kern (Vice President Of Security, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore), Dato’ Razlan Razali (Chief Executive Officer, Formula 1 Sepang Circuit, Malaysia), Victor Cui (Chief Executive Officer, One Fighting Championship, Singapore), Siu Yow Wee (Director, Station Operations, Smrt Corporation, Singapore), Jan Dalheimer (Regional Security Director Asia, Save The Children, Singapore) and Michael James Kelly (Chief Fire Officer – The Dubai Waterfront, Kleindienst Group, United Arab Emirates).
This conference provides practical frameworks for professionals tasked with ensuring the safety and security of the public at their venues and events through brand new and innovative conference formats, such as the exclusive “Sherlock Holmes” crowd analysis session where attendees can finesse their crowd profiling skills with the help of hired actors, by putting them in the frame of mind to handle difficult situations in our Situational Analysis Rooms, and get hands-on experience with the Evacuation Mission that will trial their evacuation planning, timing and ability.
