BONUS WORKSHOP

Bonus Schedule

We're pleased to welcome Eric Stuart, Director of Gentian Events, to our conference to facilitate his popular 2-day Crowd Safety Workshop.

 

The workshop aims to provide an understanding of the four aspects of basic crowd safety, and to provide techniques to plan and manage safe pedestrian flows in crowded places during all phases of an event including emergencies.

 

 

Workshop Objectives

By the end of the workshop you should be able to:

  • Understand the main risks in managing crowds.

  • Understand the differences between crowd management and crowd control.

  • Describe the phases of crowds and their psychology.

  • Conduct calculations for flow rates and density for people in crowded places.

  • Identify crowd behaviours in emergency situations and how to manage them.

  • Understand how to use non-computer models to plan for crowds.

  • To understand human behaviours that affect crowds: Route modelling, Normalcy Bias,

    Dread Theory, De-individuation and the RAS. 

 

Standalone workshop: $300 (+ fees and taxes.) Select this option if you are not attending the conference.

If you are also attending the conference, you’ll be prompted to add the workshop at a discounted rate ($250 + fees & taxes) at checkout when selecting the Full Conference Pass.
