How We Upgraded Our Corporate Event Security

A man uses corporate event security

There’s no denying it; the world is changing. You can’t host a modern event without taking security into consideration.

It may seem like outside risks are more prominent than ever, but thanks to contemporary security tactics, you can rest assured that you and your guests will be safe during your event at the Overland Park Convention Center.

So, if you’re on the fence about organizing an event at our venue, let us explain how we’ve upgraded our corporate event security to ensure that your celebration goes smoothly.

Constantly Innovating

It isn’t just conference security; we’re always innovating at the Overland Park Convention Center. It’s important to us that we stay up-to-date with the needs of our guests, and those needs are always changing.

As our client list expands, we continue to make new accommodations so everyone can enjoy their event to the fullest. For example, a convention center can be a loud, busy place, and we wanted to cater to our more sensitive guests.

We’ve built a sensory room, which serves as a quiet, calming place for neurodiverse, autistic, and disabled guests. We’re always willing to make adjustments, so let us know what you need to make your guests more comfortable.

Modern Solutions

30 years ago, most businesses and venues didn’t have to worry about the possibility of a cyber attack. Until recently, many people probably wouldn’t even know what a cyber attack was.

But now, the threat of hackers and shady dark web groups is all too common. All it takes is an outdated website to cause real problems for a business.

We don’t want our data to ever be jeopardized, so we contacted CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) to get their recommendations for our site.

CISA provides a weekly Cyber Hygiene Scan, inspecting our IP address to locate weaknesses in our online security.

CISA provides consistent recommendations to make our site secure. Corporate event security requires vigilance on all fronts.

Day-to-Day Operations

We’re proud to be an Overland Park institution, but there’s always room for improvement. We didn’t want to let any bad habits result in unforeseen security risks, so we enlisted the help of the consultants at Prevent Advisors.

Prevent Advisors visits event venues just like ours to find the holes in their defenses. They’re trained in counterterrorism measures, and they have a number of experienced event coordinators onstaff, so they know exactly what to look for.

We paid careful attention to all of the Prevent Advisors’ advice, and we didn’t waste any time upgrading our corporate event security based on their recommendations.

Thanks to the informed recommendations of the Prevent Advisors team, we’re able to operate at a new standard of efficiency.

Constantly Monitoring

Our event security services are nothing without our team. We have hired a number of fantastic security specialists to watch over your event.

We’re especially mindful when hiring security members, because they’re the first line of defense between your guests and any unforeseen threats.

We don’t want to leave anything to chance, so we’re constantly monitoring for security risks. Even the simplest of oversights, like an unlocked door, can cause serious security concerns. We never miss the opportunity to improve our security measures.
