Scenario 3: The Event That Wasn’t

Situation:

Your club has been planning a major networking event with industry guests. It’s the night before the event, and you realise that:

• The room booking was never confirmed

• The guest speakers have not received a reminder and you’re worried that some may not attend

• Ticket sales were low, but attendees expect a full-scale event

Instructions for Teams:

• Immediate Actions: What can be salvaged in the short time available?

• Key Stakeholders: Who needs to be informed (venue staff, speakers, etc.)?

• Public Statement: How do you handle damage control and set expectations for attendees?
