Effective August 2018, Event Secure oversees all safety, security, and guest code of conduct at our venues and special events. Made up of dedicated and motivated professionals who are educated, licensed, and certified to provide a safe and secure environment, this team is a valuable addition to our comprehensive portfolio of management services.
