CHAIRMAN’S COLUMN By Michael Marion, CVE


those of us in secondary markets have been following suit. Our per- forming arts brothers and sisters haven’t been far behind. I think what surprised me the most was how appreciative our patrons were when we introduced them two years ago. Our audience is willing to give up some convenience for improved deterrence measures. Bomb dogs are now Standard Operating Procedure for large events and are often requested by touring shows. Making our venues hard targets will be an ongoing goal. Over the years, IAVM has been responsive to these sad changes. It


seems we don’t have a meeting without a security session.

IAVM JUMPS AHEAD OF THE SAFETY AND SECURITY CURVE


Remember the good old days? When security meant keeping (un- wanted) groupies from sneaking in backstage or protecting patrons from themselves as they body surfed or stage dived. Now we live in a new universe, where security means looking out


for a crazy with malice in his/her heart and the intent of causing harm to as many as possible. Unfortunately, this phenomenon contin- ues to occur and shows no sign of abating. Preparing for these types of deadly actions has come to the forefront of advancing an event. In the world of things that keep us venue professionals up at night, this is certainly #1. “See Something, Say Something” is no longer just something we stick on our video monitors and hope nothing happens. Public vigilance is something to be encouraged, with the understand- ing that everyone is now working security. How many of us now go to a restaurant and check all the available ways for escape?
