MPI Toronto Professional Development Workshop, Just Networking & Volunteer Recruitment – Wednesday, May 15, 2019

Crisis Management. Planning for the Unthinkable.

Crises happen, and usually when we least expect it! What is an emergency plan? How are security protocols evolving? Are cyber threats really an issue? Where are the risks?  

Jenn Houtby-Ferguson, an MPI-accredited trainer, has an extensive background in marketing and crisis communications. Jenn will walk us through emergency preparedness and destination disaster communication. This eye-opening session will help you be the best at planning for the worst.

In this session, you will learn:

• It happened to me! Tales from the front line
• What is emergency readiness? Why it matters to meetings & events
• Who is responsible? Our legal and moral obligations as Canadian event professionals
• Ontario hazards and expected actions
• Natural disasters and critical incidents (cyber threats and terrorism)
• Be ready: how to create critical incident protocols
• Key components of an emergency action plan

Join us on May 15 at The Broadview Hotel Toronto for this professional development session for all industry professionals.

Then stay on for the Just Networking/Volunteer Recruitment event to find out what opportunities MPI Toronto has for volunteers and meet and network with colleagues.
