The ASIS International Law Enforcement Liaison Community is proud to present an exclusive panel discussion going behind the scenes of Live Nation Canada's Rogers Stadium — a purpose-built, 50,000-capacity seasonal open-air concert venue that opened in Toronto in June 2025 — and the extraordinary public-private collaboration that made its inaugural season a success.

This virtual conversation will explore:

✅ Public-Private Partnership — what it really looks like in practice
✅ Securing a brand-new venue built under compressed timelines
✅ Integrating First Responders into large-scale private sector event operations
✅ Emergency operations and mass gathering medical planning in action
✅ Real challenges and lessons learned from the inaugural season

🎤 Facilitated by: Mark Ford, CPP, ABCP – Retired Ottawa Police Service Superintendent & Security/Emergency Management Consultant, Lansdowne Consulting Group

Our panelists include three incredible practitioners who were on the ground for every show:

🔒 Wendy Scott, CPP®, ABCP – Director of Security Operations & Risk Management, Live Nation Canada, who led all security planning and operations for the inaugural season

🚔 Bill Neadles CEM – Retired Toronto Police Service Superintendent & Rogers Stadium Emergency Operations Centre Incident Commander

🚑 Kevin Jones – Managing Partner, Odyssey Medical, who led all medical planning and operations for the inaugural season

Whether you're working in live events, transitioning from law enforcement, leading security teams in the private sector, or looking to elevate your strategic thinking — this session is designed for you.

This session is a masterclass in why Public-Private Partnership isn't just a buzzword — it's the backbone of modern event security.

See you there!
