About the Course

Crisis Management (EVNT: 3160) teaches students to explore the field of risk and crisis management through speakers, research, and hands-on experiences. Risk management at events is almost a daily headline in our current world. It is fast becoming a priority in the planning of meetings and events.

No longer is risk management being perceived as a task that will be addressed after an event has been conceived, designed and organized. We are seeing risk management being embedded in event design and development.
