In this episode of The Event Safety Podcast, Danielle and Steve discuss the creation of the newly released ANSI ES1.40-2003 Event Security Standard with two contributing members of the standard's working group, Dave Ellis and Manny Marquez. Topics include an overview of the standard’s development, its "modern" approach to event security, what it addresses and what it does not, and why becoming involved in the standard-writing process is both professionally and personally worthwhile.
