The Basics of Crisis Management and Contingency Planning
Ira Rosen, CFEE

Most festivals and events have solid risk management plans which help minimize the chances of bad stuff happening. But what do we do when something bad does happen? Do we have a plan to deal with the impact of serious situations in advance, or do we make it up as we go along? This session will take a practical look at the challenges of crisis management and contingency planning to help you through tough times.
