“Controlled Events clearly demonstrate their expertise, their thorough planning and knowledge of the complexities of the event. The exercises are extremely well planned out with useful extra content to test, not only operational plans but the necessity to manage immediate social media feedback, challenging all teams in the room”

“I would not hesitate to recommend Controlled Events. They spend time understanding your organisation and its needs to make sure any solutions that are implemented can be embedded and are sustainable into the future.  Controlled Events supported with strategic level exercising of response plans as part of the plan development process and their professional approach meant they got the buy in and engagement of senior leaders as part of this process.”

“Put very simply, at SailGP, we’re looking for the best vendors and have found that in Controlled Events. Not only are they great at what they do, but they listen to us as a client. I know that working with Controlled Eventss means that when we get to race day, the entire community of stakeholders and agencies in that City is fully aware and on board with our event plans.”

“I’m a great believer in learning even after 40 years in the industry. The knowledge transfer between different levels of expertise and backgrounds has been amazing. It’s not only what the facilitators bring to the table, which has been brilliant, it’s the interaction between everyone as well.”

“The (Control Room) course had a mixture of speakers with incredible CV’s, interactive exercise. Great course content and resources.”

“I feel that I learned a great deal and improved my knowledge around control room operations.”

“ECR Manager was an invaluable asset to our control room operations, the platform promotes efficient management of logistics ensuring smooth coordination during the inaugural Dublin City Half.”

“Absolutely, I would highly recommend! The content is well thought out, relevant and the course is well-structured. It covers all of the key elements. All of the facilitators teaching style makes complex topics easy to grasp and no question is a silly question. The interactive exercises are well thought-out and try to make the situation as realistic as possible using the logging software and tech which you don’t get anywhere else. Its not a micky mouse approach, its professional and you can see the pride that goes alongside the delivery.”

“This Control Room Course creates a much needed industry standard for consistency.”

“Very useful exercise, has enabled connections with key involved people and highlighted key areas requiring further preparation work and discussion.”

“Great scenario, very helpful direction from the organisers and good input from all participants. Very joined up and collaborative.”

“It was a really good session and got the group thinking about how it could develop our BCP approach further in the future.”

“The experience was great, I wouldn’t change anything.”

“Brilliant exercise, really develops the cross-level understanding and interaction.”

“Really good session – after missing the session in June it was much better than expected – engaging, quick paced, everyone given opportunity to speak and the experts questioning and intercepting where required to prompt further conversation.”
