EventLA is honored to be working with the LA County Task Force under the Sports and Entertainment Committee to continue the on-going dialogue to re-open the Live Event Industry.
As the second initiative of our organization, we have submitted a micro-phased plan on how to safely and responsibly begin to hold live events, which aligns with other industries that are already allowed to operate including dine-in restaurants, and in-person faith services among other industries.
We are proud to be working alongside our respected colleagues, Rob Pausmith of Tres LA Group, and Garrett Gerson of Calamigos Ranch to formulate best practices and new standard operating procedures to set the benchmark on safety, sanitation, and hygiene for the industry.
