Participants learnt how to manage potential crisis and hijacking situations from experts in the industry. We also introduced a new two-day Media Response Workshop, where Participants learnt learn how to approach TV interviews, social media and more, following an incident.

The workshops were organised by Emirates Group Security and certified by Edith Cowan University, Western Australia.

Media response is an integral part of any crisis management plan.

The workshops were taught and run by award-winning media experts and seasoned practitioners. Workshops covered:

• strategy and planning for responses to media when security situations arise
• why you need to manage your response rather than trying to control the media
• how to protect your organisational and personal reputations
• giving advice to senior management and stakeholders on media issues from a security perspective
