Securing and ensuring safety at event venues, whether it’s a theater, sports event, or a grand music festival like that held at the avant- garde Brooklyn event space, Avant Gardner, can be a challenging task. As discussed in Pat Thomas’s The New York Times article ”Around the Clock’ Security at Brooklyn’s Avant Gardner’, the Avant Gardner, a 6,000-capacity venue, guarantees uninterrupted safety with a robust and systematic security approach. In this piece, we’re going to delve deep into the fundamentals of efficient event security management and how you can apply them in your everyday business.
Why is Robust Event Security Crucial?
Your event is only as good as the reputation it creates. Event-goers should feel secure and safe; otherwise, they’ll think twice before signing up for future events. A 2015 study in the Journal of Venue and Event Management indicated that enhanced security measures increased event-goers’ perceived safety, positively affecting customer satisfaction and repeat visits.

Operated by the multi-faceted business, Modern Adventure Company, this Brooklyn-based venue demonstrates the importance of round-the-clock security measures.

A Three Pronged Approach to Ensuring Safety
Just like Avant Gardner, your establishment can also benefit from a systematic three-pronged approach to safety and security:
1. Pre-Event Checks: A thorough security check at the entry gates is a must. This involves checking bags for harmful items and ensuring people aren’t carrying in any contraband.
2. Real-time Surveillance: Continuous monitoring via security cameras, positioning security personnel at strategic points, and regular patrols are essential. This constant security presence can deter potential security breaches.
3. Vendor Partnerships: Having trusted vendors, like emergency medical teams and food service vendors, who can promptly deal with unexpected situations, ensures a safe environment for everyone.
The Key Takeaway
Concerts and events can create treasured memories for attendees if they are backed by robust security operations. It not only helps to maintain the event’s reputation but also ensures that attendees can focus on enjoying themselves without feeling insecure.
