Contingency & Problem Prevention
Protecting Your Booking
What’s a fair reschedule policy for interviews?
Allow one no-penalty reschedule with 24-hour notice. Beyond that, apply small fee to secure room costs. Keep candidates informed and positive.
How do you protect a product launch from last-minute AV failure?
Book tech rehearsal day before; bring spare laptop, adapters, hotspot. Print essential slides and keep static demo video ready. Assign tech lead on event day.
Risk Mitigation
How do you handle speaker no-shows?
Have backup session or panel ready and announce schedule changes promptly. Offer Q&A or networking to maintain energy. Capture learnings in post-event review.
Are weather-related cancellations treated differently?
Force-majeure policies usually apply; reschedule without penalty where feasible. Notify attendees early with options. Keep safety first priority.
