Crisis Management: How To Respond When The Safety Net Fails!
Friday March 5, 2004 4:30 PM - 5:45 PM
Westin Harbour Castle Hotel

The recent Exploited riot in Montreal and the GNR riot in Vancouver underlines the often-forgotten riskiness involved in shows getting cancelled at the last minute, never mind the risks of squeezing tens of thousands of exuberant and sometimes hysterical fans into a venue. These are situations that can strike fear into all people responsible for safety and security at public assembly facilities. In this session experts will look at how facility law can affect you. Who is liable when things go wrong and how much insurance is enough? It's not a matter of if or when, it's a matter of how you prepare.

Panelists: Mike Doherty, Northwest Protection Services Ltd., ON, Canada; Ken Gibson, Claim Specialists International Inc., ON, Canada; Nick Farkas, Executive Director, Gillett Entertainment Group, PQ, Canada; Paul Corcoran, GM, The Molson Amphitheatre, ON, Canada
