VENUE CHANGE
This event is taking place in Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Golden Lane in Dublin. It was originally being held in Wood Quay Venue but we needed more space.
The Details
We will kick off at 10am and will be finished by 1pm.
We will leave a good amount of time for the panel session, which will include scope for questions and input from attendees.
The Speaker
Roger Barrett (Eng Tech, TIStructE, SIIRSM, MIod) is Special Projects Director with Star Events. He has a wealth of experience in building all sorts of temporary structures all over the world.
The purpose of Roger's address is twofold:
He will discuss the most common issues with temporary event structures of all shapes and sizes, how they fail and why they fail.
Importantly, he will then outline how we - as non-engineer event professionals - can spot tell-tale signs that structures are unsafe.
You will come away knowing things to check on structures to help give you confidence in them or to help you confidently identify issues with them.
The Panel
After Roger's address, he will join the other panel members for a session that will touch on contemporary issues in the Irish event industry in this area. There will be an opportunity here for attendees to put questions to the panel.
