March Monthly Meeting - the Disaster Experience

Join your local peers for an action packed 90-minute hands on simulated experience facilitated by Joy DesMarais-Lanz.  Participants are the meetings & event management team of their trade association’s three-day annual conference. The meeting has an unfriendly demonstration, looming severe weather threatening all outside activities, loss of the keynote speaker, conference attendees complaining of a stomach illness and the news media begin to swarm. How would a team handle such a disaster, especially with your Senior Meetings Director injured and a drunken board member arrested? See how your meetings management staff will respond.

From this hands-on approach, you’ll be able to identify and assess your preparedness and response in these disruptions that fall under: media and public relations, natural disaster, legal issues, employee relations and terrorism. Take the process you and your team considered and bring those considerations to review and add to your emergency preparedness plans.
