 * Abstract: In this session, members of the Wikimedia Foundation’s Trust & Safety team and participants - event organisers or those interested in becoming one - will compare different incident severities and discuss past experiences in organising events.

This will be tied to the event safety resource kit, which provides a high-level overview of Friendly Space best practices when organising an event.
