Support Safer Crowds Worldwide
Help shape the future of crowd safety
Become part of a global community of organisations helping GCMA advance crowd safety, professional learning and collaboration.
Put Your Commitment to Crowd Safety Into Action
The Global Crowd Management Alliance (GCMA) is an international not-for-profit association dedicated to advancing crowd safety through global collaboration, shared learning and professional development.
We bring together practitioners, academics, organisations and industry leaders from around the world to share knowledge, strengthen professional practice and help make crowds safer.

Become Part of the Conversation
The Control Room
During each Featured Activation Period, Global Advocates become a Presenting Partner of The Control Room, GCMA’s monthly conversation bringing members and industry leaders together to explore developments, challenges, innovation and professional practice.
Presenting partnership includes:
Recognition within pre-event marketing.
Partner branding associated with the programme.
Live acknowledgement.
Recognition within post-event communications.
Opportunity for a representative to participate in a brief welcome, interview or company profile of up to five minutes.
Following each programme, GCMA will edit and package your featured segment as a stand-alone, social-ready video for use across your organisation’s own channels.
This gives your organisation tangible content to share with customers, colleagues and your wider community while demonstrating your involvement with GCMA and support for safer crowds.
CHAMPION EXCLUSIVE
Presenting Partnership of The Focal Point
Champion-level Global Advocates also receive presenting partnership of one Focal Point webinar during the 12-month partnership.
The opportunity includes recognition across webinar marketing, partner branding, live acknowledgement and the opportunity for a brief partner welcome.
Tell Your Story
In Queue With…
Every Global Advocate receives one collaboratively developed “In Queue With…” profile during the partnership year.
Rather than a conventional advertisement, the feature introduces the people, ideas and work behind your organisation and explores its connection to crowd safety and the wider industry.
Publication Channels:
Carry the Commitment All Year
Your Global Advocate relationship does not end when your Featured Activation Period does.
Every Advocate receives use of the official GCMA Global Advocate seal throughout the full 12-month partnership.
The seal may be used across:
Websites · Email Signatures · Digital Communications · Social Media
Your organisation will also remain listed on the dedicated GCMA Advocates page for the full year, providing ongoing recognition of your support.
The Global Advocate seal provides a simple and visible way to demonstrate that your organisation actively supports GCMA and shares our commitment to advancing safer crowds.
Global Advocate status recognises support of GCMA and does not constitute accreditation, certification or endorsement of an organisation, product or service.
