Risk Assessment

There are five types of risk to consider when planning an event:

Physical

Identify elements of the event that may cause harm and try to reduce or avoid them.

Reputational

Represent your organization with pride and dignity.

Emotional

Be aware of sensitive or controversial topics.

Financial

Spend money appropriately and responsibly.

Facilities

Choose space that is safe and accessible for all participants.

When you submit your event in InvoNet, you will be asked several questions across these domains. Depending on your responses, we will connect you with appropriate resources. Our goal is to help you have a safe, successful event!
