How will this impact your upcoming conferences?

1. Increased travel risk for delegates
2. Higher costs & complexity for travel logistics
3. Need for flexible scheduling and contingency plans
4. Geographic restrictions may affect attendee mix
5. Venue and partner coordination become more critical

Recommendations you might consider:

- Communicate early with attendees about travel uncertainties, and provide alternative options (e.g., earlier flights, alternate arrival cities).

- Negotiate flexible terms with your venue/hotel in case numbers change. Check your force majeure clause.

- Offer hybrid/virtual participation options for those who can’t make it, if your budget allows.

- Monitor flight availability and schedules leading up to the event and stay ready to adjust logistics.
