Every operation faces challenges that can impact people, events, and profitability. This interactive discussion will focus on the operational risks leaders are navigating today—from staffing shortages and transportation logistics to food safety, weather, technology, contracts, and client expectations. Members will share the issues that concern them most, along with the strategies, systems, and contingency plans they're using to minimize risk and prepare for the unexpected.
