The Next Chapter in Risk & Safety

After the overwhelming success of The Tech Briefing, we’re back - this time with a sharper focus on risk, responsibility and readiness.

The Safety Briefing is an intimate education event for event planners who want to level up their understanding of WHS, risk mitigation and what really goes on behind the scenes at events.

Returning to the stage is Kealan Coleman, who will lead the program with a fresh and focused take on WHS responsibilities through content, discussion and hands-on activities.

We’ll also be joined by two of the country’s most experienced operators in venue risk and major event safety:

• Tim Cramsie, City Recital Hall: A venue and production veteran, Tim will unpack the safety mindset from a venue perspective, covering high-level issues like international productions, terror threats, lone-wolf scenarios, and compliance challenges across complex event landscapes.

• Tim Gray, Foti Fireworks: From Sydney NYE fireworks to major civic events, Tim will lift the curtain on what goes into ensuring public safety at scale. Expect behind-the-scenes stories and real-world lessons.

Designed for Learning, Not Lectures

With only 30 seats available, this half-day experience is intentionally small, to allow deep learning, meaningful interaction and practical takeaways you can bring back to your next event. You’ll also enjoy:

• Detailed content delving deep into risk and safety for events

• Conversation with some of the most experienced minds in the industry

• A welcoming, stylish venue with breakfast, morning tea and lunch hosted by Ace Hotel Sydney
