SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Events of all types are produced every day for all manner of purposes, attracting all sorts of people. Creating and managing the environment in which these people will gather carries with it awesome responsibilities -- legal, ethical, and financial. To provide a safe and secure setting and to operate in a manner that ensures the hosting organizations or individuals achieve their objectives in a proper and profitable way, event risk management must be fully integrated into all event plans and throughout the event management process. The author examines the practices, procedures, and safeguards associated with the identification, analysis, response planning, and control of the risks surrounding events of all types."--Publisher.
