The 2011 Indiana State Fair Stage Collapse
April 17, 2012 | 4-5 p.m. | Franklin University | 8415 Allison Pointe Blvd, Suite 400 Indy 46250
We talk about crisis communication often in our profession. But few events in recent Indiana history have been as shocking and gripping as last August’s stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair.
Captain David Bursten, commander for the public information center at the Indiana State Police and immediate past president of the Indiana Public Relations Society, will recount the communication activities immediately following this tragedy.
In his role, Captain Bursten and his staff handle some of the worst tragedies in Indiana and work with the media constantly to keep the community informed. He will share lessons and insights from their work.
Free parking is available in lots to the north and south of the building.
