How would you respond? Many meeting professionals have experienced an attendee’s medical emergency at an event. How a planner deals with such a situation it as it happens and after it happens affects not only the attendee’s quality of life but also an organization’s image.
So ask yourself a few questions. What would happen if you fell ill at a meeting? What plans are in place if an attendee needs to be transported to a hospital?
