Houston, we have an announcement! The Event Safety Alliance has confirmed the launch of the 2023 Event Safety Summit in Houston, Texas, November 7-9! Join us in the home of NASA and some of the country’s largest entertainment, cultural, and sporting events as we explore new frontiers in safety practice and technology and broadcast our message of safety to the farthest reaches of the event world*. 

Since 2014, the Event Safety Summit has brought together professionals from around the globe and across the entertainment, sports, and corporate event industries to discuss all aspects of safety, security, and health at live events. Featuring a diverse lineup of presentations, panels, workshops, and networking opportunities, the Event Safety Summit provides attendees with actionable ideas, enables collaboration with and communication among like-minded professionals, and sends attendees home with new motivation to put life safety first in their daily work.  

Whether you're a seasoned event professional or new to the industry, you'll leave The Bayou City feeling empowered to take safety by the (long)horns and continue ESA's mission of "Life Safety First."
