Accidental drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death and the leading cause of death for people under 50 in the U.S. Overdose deaths have had a huge impact on the entertainment industry in particular. The Harm Reduction Coalition’s Drug Overdose Prevention and Education (DOPE) Project provides overdose education and naloxone distribution and this presentation will give everyone a quick overview and training on how to prevent overdose fatalities.

3:10 PM – 4:30 PM PANEL SPEAKERS #3

Social Space and the Future of Outdoor Urban Events in San Francisco With an increasingly dense population where use of available outdoor space is sometimes limited by new development, San Francisco must address ways to ensure the public has access to diverse quality of life experiences in outdoor spaces. How can stakeholders and citizens promote the use of social space in a way that is compatible with differing lifestyles and ideas of what is enjoyable to some and an inconvenience to others? At the same time, how can outdoor events evolve and innovate to keep artistic expression and recreation vibrant and interesting? This conversation brings together event practitioners who are using imaginative approaches to address these challenges. We hope to provide a forum for thinking out of the box and beyond limitations.
