Live, virtual event on May 10 to offer current, real-world guidance for events and venues

April 30, 2021
This IIFX Learning Hub event will address risk in today’s volatile and uncertain world – from pandemics, terrorism, changing crowd dynamics

April 19, 2021 Jackson, Mississippi - On Monday, May 10, 2021, the Innovation Institute for Fan Experience (IIFX) will host a one-day, interactive, live, virtual event themed “Risk in Today’s Volatile and Uncertain World: Conversations, Ideas, and Innovations to Create a Safer World.”

This will be an interactive program focusing on the changing dynamics and psychosocial impacts of managing events and venues in uncertain times. All speakers are leaders in the international sports and entertainment industry. Each will focus on how both theoretical and practical aspects are being re-examined and re-imagined.

“Managers and leaders must thoroughly rethink the way in which they work and how the future audience will now consume live sport and entertainment,” said Lou Marciani, Director and Co-founder of IIFX. “We understand everyone us operating within a considerable gray area. We hope to help our audience gain clarity through these experts.”

After the program introduction, four sessions will take place with a question-and-answer segment at the end of each. Audience members will be able to share current ideas and question the presenters about changes in their theory and practice.

Says Dr. Chris Kemp of Mind Over Matter Consultancy, and the thought leader behind the May 10th event, “COVID-19 has made us all constantly aware of living in a crisis bubble. But it has also made us lazy as we have started to either deny the existence of or forget the breadth of other risks that surround us.”
