July 30, 2026 | 2 p.m. ET

Broadcast engineers, reporters, and media operations teams are increasingly working beyond traditional facilities, supporting remote productions, live events, and distributed operations. As these roles evolve, so do the physical safety challenges they face. This session explores today’s changing risk landscape and discusses practical approaches to improving awareness, preparedness, communication, and workforce protection. Attendees will leave with actionable ideas to help strengthen safety without disrupting daily broadcast operations.
