#011 – Dondrell Swanson and his team were hosting a 400+ person annual convention in March. Then the state and local governments put restrictions on large gatherings and ordered people to Shelter at Home. He and his team had to decide whether to reschedule to a future date or cancel. The venue was putting pressure on them to reschedule to a later date. This particular event is in the springtime every year. Moving to a later date was risky. They were unsure as to how it would perform later in the year.
Dondrell shares the team’s thought process at arriving at their decision and what they learned. If you face this situation now or if you will face it in the future, there are takeaways you can apply to your situation.
