• Seemless transfer of duties when a speaker has to cancel • Know your attendees and options • Speakers Bureaus are an asset Midwest Meetings asked the question, ‘What did you do when your speaker/entertainment was a no-show or had to cancel last minute?’ We received some great comments: Anne Kagay-Lidster, MARCQI - Dept. of Orthopedic Surgery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI “When the guest speaker had to cancel at the last minute due to family member illness, we had to substitute with others who were attending the meeting to present an open-forum discussion.” Charlotte Calandro, Evans & Dixon, LLC, St. Louis, MO “We were in Jamaica for a rewards trip with 140 people, we grabbed the fitness instructor for the resort and cranked up the music for a limbo contest with prizes! That broke the ice and led to dancing in the sand on our own private beach area!” |
