Whether it be rail strikes, lightning storms, crowd control or medical emergencies – ‘major incidents’ are becoming increasingly common at events across the industry, which is why it is now more important than ever that we are best prepared to deal with them.

This live Table Top session hosted by festival production company The Fair (part of We Group) will put your knowledge and ability to the test, with ‘disaster’ scenarios that could happen at any given event.
You’ll hear first-hand from members of the event production team, who have dealt with such ‘major incidents’ on site.
