One of our own is speaking at the Nashville PRIMA Conference June 3-6, 2012 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Conference Center. Lori Gray, Risk Manager for Prince William County,  is speaking on a fascinating topic called "How to Keep Your Special Event  From Turning Into a Real Battle (How the Right Special Event Approach Can Turn A Potential Battle Into An Insignificant Skirmish)". Lori was in the middle of a major Civil War back in July with the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Bull Run (First Manassas) when her county was invaded by 10,000 re-enactors not counting tourists, vendors and media. For those attending the conference, this is a unique session you don't want to miss. The good news, bad news; the good news Lori and the county survived this extraordinary event; the bad news, the150th anniversary of Second Manassas is August 28, 2012.
