 The COVID-19 pandemic has no doubt negatively affected the event business, which caters to a large customer base rather than sit back and complain. Event professionals are here for an event summit with the theme, making safety our priority. It's meant to educate professionals on the importance of safety in the industry. The Lagos State Commissioner for Safety, Larry Mojola, shares his goodwill message. Priority from now as a government, industry, professionals and associations is to have safer events. To forestall emergencies, we need to report all accidents and incidents and also learn from them, understand the root causes and why they will not happen again. The panelists at the event take time to discuss the safety protocols of operating during a pandemic. The journey that we must all come together and as an industry, we must come together to have our own basic standards operating procedures as we regard safety. How are you paying attention to your mental health? Because without a very good mental wellbeing, it's very easy for you to lose check or to lose focus on all these little things that you're supposed to do for safety. Other issues the speaker addressed include venue, fire and food safety in event management. For fire safety to be efficient in event center, there has to be functional, feasible fire safety equipment. The Chief Executive Officer of KFA Event Center, Kemi Adelike and 2A Event Limited, Bosse Abisabola say aspiring event planners need to prioritize safety. Safety Summit is a coalition of event professionals so we came together to talk about safety because we feel that safety is so important and paramount for our various businesses from the venues to the food, to the mental, the health and safety and then to the professionals, the event planners actually planning the event as well. It makes you on top of your game as an event planner or an event professional. Why does it make you on top? It makes you on top because you begin to take cognizance of those areas that could be hazardous to your clients, to your brand and to your business. Facilitators at the event believe that affiliation with the coalition of event professionals is a good way for members to stay up to date with safety standards in the business and of course the participants on their part are super excited about what they've learned.
