Everything you need to know about event rooms
An Event Room is a virtual command centre that serves as a centralized source of truth for all information related to a specific event. It allows stakeholders to collaborate and work together on important action steps, analyse the impact of critical events, and optimize their responses through traceable actions and dynamic playbooks.
In essence, the Event Room provides an overview or common operating picture that helps stakeholders understand the facts and assumptions surrounding the event, enabling them to act accordingly.
