Managing drug use at your event

The use of alcohol and other drugs is the norm at almost all events, and can have a very big impact on the health and safety of your patrons and even the success of the event itself.

While alcohol is legal and can be managed and discussed in a straightforward manner, addressing other drug use can be challenging for an event producer who does not want to be seen as encouraging or condoning drug use.

The fact is, a pragmatic approach to managing drug use at events can save lives. Not only this, but integrating thoughtful, comprehensive services for alcohol and other drug use will be appreciated by your patrons and, with the right communication, your host community.
