National Professional Sports and Entertainment Safety and Security Forum

The threat environment surrounding high-profile sport and entertainment events is continually evolving. Discussing current issues and exploring solutions in a forum environment will help safety and security managers, operations managers, and local and state law enforcement enhance safety and security plans and operations. The virtual forum will focus on crowd management and cyber security strategies: - The Crowd Management session will introduce participants to effective crowd management strategies and provide the opportunity to apply lessons learned and professional experiences to an exercise scenario using a simulated sequence of events. - The Cyber Security session will familiarize participants with the concepts of planning and preparing for, responding to, and recovering from a targeted cyber attack, as well as an introduction to the attacker methods used during an attack.
