New York City hosts some of the largest and most complex mass gatherings in the world—from the Times Square New Year’s Eve celebration to United Nations summits, parades, protests, and large-scale concerts. This session will take you behind the scenes of NYC’s multi-agency approach to securing high-profile events in a densely populated, high-risk environment.
Learn how law enforcement, emergency management, intelligence units, and private sector partners work together to assess threats, manage crowd behavior, deploy resources, and coordinate real-time response. The session will also explore lessons learned from past events, including best practices for counterterrorism, perimeter security, and crisis communication in urban settings.
Ideal for public safety professionals, event planners, emergency managers, and anyone involved in special event operations.
