Public Events

What matters at public events

Public events are open to everyone: children, older people, families, day visitors. The audience is very mixed, and the site is often large and hard to close off. At the same time, the public order offices and district authorities make medical cover a condition of the permit.

We help you from the planning stage and calculate what you need according to the official requirements. At rallies and demonstrations we stay neutral: we stand for the safety of the people on site, not for a cause.
