EVENT INFRASTRUCTURE and RESILIENCY CONFERENCE

Major events throughout the United States rely on interdependencies of the Critical Infrastructures of the host cities and regions for their success. Communities support events, whether minor or major, in the areas of crowd and traffic management, transportation, lodging, emergency / first response, venue and catering logistics, local entertainment, and attractions.  Resiliency in these areas provides for the expected, and accommodates the unexpected, in order to ensure the achievement of the event's goals and objectives.

Join us in Las Vegas to hear from experts in these areas to learn how event planning, coordination, and response can result in the success of your future events.
