ABSTRACT
Training an event workforce is quite a challenge. Work for the core management team starts months or even years before the event and so many different types of training may be necessary, the most common being project management, risk analysis and legislative awareness. The core planning team tends to be made up of a very diverse group, everyone coming from different backgrounds and industries. To make life even more complicated, there are rolling starts, with people coming on board right through to the event operational period. How much simpler it would be if the planning team were all to start at once!
