Hiring Security for Conventions

Video Transcript

"This next clip is on whether or not you need security at your convention. And the answer is absolutely yes. Not because you expect something to go wrong, but because the unexpected could always happen. And there are different levels of security that you want to take into account when you organize your convention. The first one is, and think about it, your celebrities. Depending on how popular your celebrities are, you'll want to make sure that they're safe. Now safe doesn't mean that they are going to be attacked, but you don't want them attacked by teeny-boppers and adolescents who are going to try to grab at them. So make sure you've got good security. The second thing is you want to make sure that people are not walking through the hotel who shouldn't be. Those people who haven't paid, maybe even people who are staying at the hotel. You want to get in touch with maybe your local law enforcement agency and see if you can't have one or two or three law enforcement officers from Palm Beach or Broward County to come there. Remember, you're dealing with teenagers in many respects. Teenagers who you don't know. Have security."
