Appreciating Club Culture: interview with curator Manique Hendricks MA written by me for New Metropolis Nieuw-West From the text: "MP: As you know, in 2021, Amsterdam formulated a vision of Night Culture with the Night Culture Implementation Agenda 2023-2026. We created a joint manifesto because we realised that the club community in Nieuw-West needs more support from local authorities. This manifesto adds on to the current ‘Night Vision’, how important would it be for clubs to be active in dialogue with the municipality? Do you think it is possible in the current scenario? MH: I think it’s just as important for the municipality to be active in dialogue with the clubs, as it is not just a one way street. And I do see that this has been happening more frequently and with more attention in the past period. What seems to be complicating various situations is the fact that the vision on nightlife can not always be translated to action because of regulations, permits and bureaucracy. I hope that will change." https://lnkd.in/ehvGKtPr

Running any event in Trafalgar Square is a great experience, but it also comes with its challenges. Take the London London Symphony Orchestra, an event Number 8 Events has been working with for several years. Trafalgar Square is the perfect location for an event like LSO: · There’s a natural footfall  · It has easy public access  · It has excellent transport links  · There are good access points for arrivals and exits · The local authorities are supportive and understand events But such an iconic location also has its challenges: · There's the potential for incidents with crowd dynamics · Also, the risk of too many people arriving at once · And situations within London affecting the event outside your control, like protests. When planning safety for an event, it’s not just about what happens within the event space. Event organisers must predict and manage crowd dynamics to and from the events. They also have to know what might happen in the surrounding area that can affect the event. With our vast experience, Number 8 Events can help event organisers effectively plan all stages of the event, from beginning to end. Scott Kennedy (GradIOSH), our Lead Event Safety Manager, will be on-site at the London Symphony Orchestra event to manage safety and ensure smooth operation. Will you be attending?
