Public events are increasing in both capacity and frequency, returning closer to pre-pandemic levels. Musical artists have begun touring again, sports stadiums are increasing their capacity and award shows are expanding their guest count. Security leaders are now considering the best ways to secure their events.
The Academy Awards is working to improve their event safety. The 2023 award show will have a crisis team to monitor guest actions and safety. The team has been established following the events of the previous award show where the host and a guest were involved in a physical altercation.
