This session will take you by storm and offer a fascinating insight into the impact of extreme weather conditions on events. Weather can leave organisers on cloud nine or having to take a rain check—but who decides when it’s too hot to handle? This session pours into the challenges of planning for the impact of weather, from the factors considered in event risk assessments and emergency planning, to the tough calls that have to be made when the organiser gets wind of the forecast.
