Working a Presidential Event

Friday, 17 July 2009 00:00

Special D Events' staff had the opportunity to assist with the speech/event this week by President Barack Obama in Warren, Michigan. Regardless of your politics, working on a presidential event is an amazing opportunity. The staff on the White House Advance Team are experts at high pressure, last minute high level event situations. And, when it comes to event security, it doesn't get any more complicated than this, particularly since the event was outdoors. In the end, the sun shined, the seats were full, and the event ran smooth as glass. Too bad the Secret Service isn't available to work all of our public events! They were the best.
