In 2011, at least four temporary structures built outdoors were felled by wind related to sudden severe weather. With all the attention and liability associated with outdoor events, venue operators are asking about generally acceptable standards for outdoor stages and rigging. Join us as we discuss the standards for these temporary structures and hear from your experienced brethren about the planning process for outdoor events.



Everything is Moving! Preparing to Host an Electronic Dance Event: Webinar is postponed to Wednesday, May 23, 1:30 – 3:00 PM CDT, Register Here

 

Electronic dance events are becoming big business, and they are no longer confined to southern California. So whether you like it or not, you may wind up hosting a multi-stage, general admission, 18-and-over event that lasts deep into the night and presents demographic and medical challenges different from nearly anything else you do. Presenters Kevin Mattingly of the Phoenix Convention Center and Dana Risinger of the Dallas Convention Center, both of whom have hosted electronic dance events, will help you identify the key issues for which you must be ready. Moderator Steve Adelman will help put the operational decisions into their legal context.

 

Presenters: Dana Risinger, Director of Safety, Dallas Convention Center; Kevin Mattingly, Deputy Director, Phoenix Convention Center; Steve Adelman, Adelman Law Group
