OMG, Did I just have to do THAT???
March 30th, 2011
Let’s be honest, who hasn’t had to do something for the sake of making a client happy that’s left them scratching their head and thinking, “I can’t believe I just had to do that!” As Meeting Planners, we’re often responsible for doing whatever it takes to make sure an event goes off without any glitches. Whether it’s catering to the outlandish demands of a guest speaker or making a last minute run to the airport in the middle of a storm to pick up company executives, it seems the role of a Meeting Planner can sometimes extend to that of Crisis Manager as well. It’s only after an event is complete and disaster is averted that you look back on it and laugh at how ridiculous the lengths you have to go to in order to pull off a function. Everyone has battle stories that are so incredible you can’t believe they actually happened to you. Now’s your chance…tell us your most outrageous experience. Did you have to bail out the company CFO after a night of drunken 
debauchery? Did your event site suddenly become unavailable at last minute forcing you to scramble for a last minute location? Did all the electronic equipment fail seconds before your presentation was about to begin? Certainly, we’ve all had some of those and cringe at the memory of them. Add your amazing story in the comments below and let’s see just how far we are willing to go to get our jobs done!
