The pandemic has caused us to have to adapt in many ways. We have to work around countless obstacles and challenges. No matter how well-planned your event is, there are always circumstances that are not within your control. What you can do is be aware of these potential problems and make a plan so you can turn things around fast. Read on to learn more about the common problems you can avoid at your next event!
Participant Drop-Outs
Whether your main act or your keynote speaker has had to drop out and cannot attend the event, it can be stressful. When your carefully chosen program does not pan out as expected, it can be hard to navigate around. How can you put damage control in place? The first step is to receive as much advance notice as possible. This gives you time to put your next plan into action. The next step is to look for another speaker who is also available that day. This way, you have someone to reach out to if necessary.
Technology Failure
Technology issues happen to the best of us. Halfway through the speech, maybe your speaker’s internet cuts out. Or maybe the attendees have trouble logging onto the platform for your virtual event. For in-person events, such technical problems can occur too. It can be something like a malfunctioning microphone or the presentation being unable to load. So, how can you avoid these common problems? Hire an AV professional to ensure that the equipment is ready on the day itself. You can also try it out to make sure that you and your speakers are familiar with the software used. Download any pre-recorded presentations so you don’t rely on the internet to play them. For in-person events, make sure to test all the equipment in the room. Check that the sound can be heard even from the back of the room. Testing repeatedly will help to prevent any technical glitches.
Long Lines
People waiting in long lines can create a bad impression of your event before it has even started. How can you keep things working well at your event while still sticking to the social distancing measures? You can avoid such long lines if you are aware of the number of people coming to your event. Keep track of ticket sales so you can avoid the long lines forming. Make sure you have enough food vendors and toilets available for the number of people who will be attending the event.
