From airplanes and grocery stores to stadiums and other event spaces, we are living through an unprecedented era of grievance and conflict. Ushers and event security are on the front lines of this battle between health and safety versus aggressively-held assertions of personal liberties. In this episode of the Event Safety Podcast, we rebroadcast a session from our recent Event Safety TV broadcast featuring Duke University Assistant AD of Game Ops, Championships and Events Becca Wilusz. Becca helps contextualize the issue as it affects event security , suggests methods that acknowledge people’s right to respectfully disagree, and explores how to de-escalate tensions and maintain safety for all attendees.
