Hosted by Emergency Preparedness Committee Chairs Amy Zheng and Patchie Bergman, this session will provide an inside look at the K.E.E.P. (Knowledge and Excellence in Emergency Preparedness) Awards, including the application process and latest updates on the upcoming Grand Prix.

Using the Grand Prix as a practical example, attendees will learn what makes a strong submission, ask questions, and better prepare for this year’s awards.

Participants will also hear directly from award-winning teams and see how leading properties plan, coordinate, and respond during emergency situations.

Attendees will gain:

  • Insights from K.E.E.P. Award winners
  • Practical emergency preparedness strategies you can adapt to your own property
  • A behind-the-scenes look at planning, coordination, and execution
  • Peer-to-peer learning with industry professionals

Who Should Attend: Designed for property managers, engineers, and operations teams, this discussion delivers practical takeaways and proven practices from those setting the standard in emergency preparedness.
