This title is not on sale yet. When it is published, it will be listed here with a link to buy it.

For the person who builds and shares what Event Control knows. You change the picture when the information is enough and take the old one out of use.

What you will be able to do

  • Record the shared picture in force at Event Control.
  • Name the information that is enough to change it.
  • Decide what to share without sending out two pictures as if both were true.
  • Write what is known and what is not known, without inventing a count.
  • Share the picture so named functions can act on it, and withdraw the old one.

What the chapters cover

  • The picture now in force
  • Competing pictures
  • What is known and what is not known
  • Sharing so other people can act
  • Withdrawing the old picture
  • When a department will not accept the picture

Thirteen chapters follow the job in order, with thirteen quick-reference cards you may copy for use at your own event. Worked examples are composite illustrations, not accounts of real events.

Tactical titles are for the person coordinating several posts or departments once the plan has to change on the day. OTAS Live publishes 30 handbooks across ten areas of event work, each at Operational, Tactical and Strategic level.
