WHAT THIS IS ABOUT

Special Events are common occurrences for groups and municipalities to commemorate various achievements and highlight community activities. The Planning for Special Events course will provide governmental authorities and event organizers with relevant information in systematically planning for and accommodating Special Events without sacrificing safety and public services.

The focus of this course to develop techniques for planning and implementing Special Events while continuing to provide for everyday access and services to local citizens, industries, and businesses. This workshop will include discussions on pedestrian needs, impacts on various land uses, and case studies on such Special Event components as orderly and legal parking removal, maintaining fire access, intersection operations, and minimizing risk exposure for municipal workers in traffic while balancing costs and resource allocation.

This course will prepare one for developing an orderly Special Event plan while giving due consideration to the different aspects of both special and everyday events and operations.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This course is for engineers, planners, public works and public safety personnel involved in the design and operation of Special Events, as well as event organizers that need a greater understanding of the community and municipal impacts of proposed Special Events.
