Event Safety Summit Moves to March 2022
Echoing those comments, Take1 Insurance Senior Vice President & Program Director Scott Carroll emphasized that, “As an insurance provider, safety must be the number one consideration of everyone involved in event production. Nothing takes priority over considering every possible threat and having a contingency plan in place to mitigate against those threats. Together with Intact Insurance Specialty Solutions, we are proud to be the co-presenting sponsors of this vital annual industry event.”
