In this episode, I catch up with Becky Stevens, director of Hybred Events, on site at Lumiere Durham 2023, a biennial light art festival in the north of England. Becky shares insight into how we approach event control, discusses the importance of training for safety advisory groups and debunks the narrative of us being the “safety police”.

She shares her experience of having to manage an emergency evacuation of Bloc Weekend festival at London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, as well as working on the famous Fatboy Slim concert on Brighton beach in 2002 that almost turned deadly. Hearing Becky’s experience of dealing with both these events is crucial learning for all event professionals and attendees to help develop awareness of how we can reduce risk in the future. Becky’s wisdom, experience and perspective taught me a lot and I hope you find this episode as insightful as I did.
