As
global-scale events—from international sports tournaments to political summits
and cultural festivals—continue to grow in size and complexity, ensuring
accessibility for individuals with access and functional needs (AFN) is not
just a compliance issue—it’s a critical component of effective emergency
management and public safety planning.
Join us
for a dynamic and practical webinar explicitly designed for emergency
management professionals and their key partners. This session will explore how
to integrate inclusive strategies into the planning and operational framework
for large-scale events hosted in major venues. Learn who to collaborate
with—from disability advocates to venue operators and security officials—what
essential considerations must be addressed, and how these planning
efforts enhance overall safety, resilience, and public confidence. This is a
must-attend session for anyone involved in event safety, public health,
emergency response, venue operations, or accessibility advocacy.
Speakers:
Dawn
Brantley, Director, Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency
L. Vance
Taylor, Chief, Office of Access and Functional Needs, California Governor’s
Office of Emergency Services
