Report: Learnings from YES Group seminar 2025
After the accident at Roskilde Festival in the year 2000 that killed nine people, the YOUROPE Event Safety (YES) Group was created to improve safety standards for festivals across Europe. Over the years, the YES Group has become a strong network, led by a team of high-profile experts in event safety and crowd management, representing large and small venues and festivals in Europe.

- The projects nominated for the European Festival Awards’ Event Safety Award 2024
