Long Live the Crowd offers an Expert Education Programme in terms of event safety and security, crowd management and sustainability leading to a professional certification. The programme aims to strengthen event professionals in their skills and abilities, to increase resilience against new threats and actual challenges of organising large gatherings and future events.
Do you feel concerned?
Even with a respectable number of years of experience in a well-known environment, you may feel ‘disarmed’, ‘inadequate’, ‘overwhelmed’ in the face of new threats and challenges for which we are not trained or able to cope.
Many of us involved in the organisation of large festivals, sports and urban events, amusement parks, conferences, fairs and other events are concerned as we have to reinvent ourselves again and again (attacks, pandemic, energy crisis, etc.). Strategic and operational decision-makers involved in an event organization, safety and security operators, police and city coordinators, …. bear a great responsibility where both human lives and the quality of the experience are central. A fragile balance that immediately comes to the attention of (social) media, public opinion, court and insurance. The competence and qualification of managers, officers and every link in the process are often questioned.
If you are keen to strengthen your abilities on how to deal with the unforeseen circumstances of a new threat, then this education programme is exactly what your are looking for.
The Crowd is dead?! Don’t think so … Long Live The Crowd!
