The question of whether the landscape of event security has changed has been discussed during the latest episode of the Talking Event podcast. Referencing the terror attacks in Brussels, podcast host James Dickson asked guests whether the communication between stakeholders at events is up to scratch and whether the attacks have prompted a change in preparations. Joining the episode was Alex Leake from Carlisle Support Services, who told the podcast that various elements are becoming more commonplace as a way to ensure that all attendees are being channelled through the necessary ingress and egress points. David Boswell from TSG also joined the podcast, highlighting the differing ways in which events have to deal with ingress and egress depending on the day or time of the event and how crowd demographics are being closely analysed to assist in the planning process. This week’s episode follows up on the last week’s broadcast that looked at some of the controversial remarks made about TSG and the services that it now provides to the industry. During that episode, David Boswell also responded to comments that his company was ‘cashing in’ on the terror attacks in both Brussels and Paris. Don’t miss next week’s podcast.
