Eventbrite’s COVID-19 Safety Playbook for Events

Before launching in-person experiences again, event creators are considering health and safety risks for their event. This is a resource for you when determining what risks are present and how to address them.

This playbook will help you:

• Understand the risks of COVID-19 transmission at events and your role in identifying and managing those risks

• Identify potential transmission risks that may affect your event, understand opportunities to effectively manage those risks, and make informed decisions about risk acceptance

• Create a pre-event safety checklist addressing COVID-19 risks

• Communicate your safety policies and procedures to staff and attendees, including their critical role and responsibility in having a safe event

Before relaunching in-person experiences, event creators will need to thoughtfully consider safety and security risks for their event. Many factors can influence an event’s risk profile, including the location of the venue, the purpose of the event, and the event-goers attending. Today, we want to provide you with resources to consider as you address the threat of COVID-19 and manage the risk of transmission. Following the expertise of health officials and regulators, events will need to adopt new policies and procedures to minimise physical contact and maximise the health and well-being of their attendees. This playbook assumes there are no mandatory prohibitions affecting your event or gathering.

Event creators should assume that during a global pandemic, when there is COVID-19 prevalence in virtually every locale, every event goer and staff member could transmit the virus. Because everyone is a potential transmission risk, taking appropriate safety and risk management measures is crucial, as is communicating staff and attendee requirements and responsibilities during these unprecedented circumstances.
