Clouds roll in 30 minutes before gates do you pivot or pray?
Entry queues swell, a generator trips, security flags a pinch point who moves first?
Outdoor event planning is more than picking a park.
A smart event site plan maps permits, weather contingencies, crowd flow, accessibility, and safety so guests have a seamless experience and your team stays calm rain or shine.
Your outdoor event checklist should cover:
* Permits & compliance: council/city approvals, insurance, risk management
* Site map & zoning: stages, vendors, back of house, egress and emergency routes
* Power & utilities: generators, distribution, lighting, tested backups
* Water, sanitation & waste: hydration points, restrooms, waste/recycling plan
* Crowd management: ingress/egress, queue design, barriers, wayfinding
* Accessibility: step free routes, viewing areas, signage, accessible facilities
* Safety & security: first aid, weather triggers, evacuation plan, staffing and comms
