Summer is often heralded as a season of vibrancy and community, bringing with it an array of large-scale events that draw crowds from near and far. As temperatures rise, so does the frequency of music festivals, where fans of every genre gather under the open sky to revel in live performances. National political conventions — Republican National Convention in Milwaukee and Democratic National Convention in Chicago — also take center stage in July and August, drawing the attention of the nation as they shape the political landscape.
But the summer calendar doesn't end there: sporting events, fairs, markets, parades, and holiday fireworks displays, to name a few. While these events provide an opportunity for celebration and community engagement, they also raise imperative concerns for safety — whether your organization is hosting an event, your team is attending an event, or your organization is located near an event.
As security and risk management experts, we can help. Contact us today to discover how Pinkerton can support your summer events strategy, or browse through our blogs and videos for actionable tips to help secure your summer.
Let's secure your summer, together
The more awareness or exposure of an event, the more risk that event has. These risks will extend to businesses near the event venue ranging from an influx of increased foot and street traffic, access restrictions, and sometimes even protest activity. If you expect your business or employees to be in the path of a protest, preparation is key.
