To ensure a safe and secure event: for your client, the audience, your suppliers as well as you, the planner. Transfer risk- retain control but transfer the risk where ever possible: waivers- make sure you are very clear about all of the possible negative outcomes. Doesn"t mean you won"t be sued but will minimize it: contracts, security, certification. What does this tell you about the supplier: insurance.
