MITIGATING MEDICAL AND SECURITY RISKS AND PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR A SUCCESSFUL EVENT
In-person events provide organisations with a valuable opportunity to connect with their employees, customers, build their brand, and learn from industry experts. In-person events provide a more engaging and immersive experience, where attendees can interact with colleagues, clients, exhibitors, and experience the event in ways that are not possible with virtual events.
Post-pandemic, the significance of in-person events has become even more evident. For an event to be successful, it is paramount for organisations to have a support and safety plan that considers challenges such as accessing quality medical resources, mitigating health and security risks, staying informed about local regulations, finding suitable medical care, and navigating cultural differences. The support plan should be effectively communicated with the staff and attendees and must include all safety protocols, contingency plan and emergency contact details of the relevant resources.
