Has the world completely given up on the general election, the conference perspective.
April 29th, 2010
Over the years it’s been an unwritten rule that no sane conference organiser would choose to run an event during the two or three week build up to a general election. The logic, the world or at least the UK cared who was elected, they put making an informed decision first. If they cared then they don’t now, we are fully booked next week.
The army of political and media analysts here have produced a mass of reports analysing this. The conclusion is inconclusive. 24hour news means that the possibilities to stay informed and misinformed have mushroomed. Perhaps the conference attendees do consider themselves informed but just don’t care. Maybe they think all politicians or at least all the ones of the moment are either to similar they don’t trust / believe them so they feel disfranchised, if you have no influence why bother!

Act of God – the sequel
April 22nd, 2010
Reason has returned to the world, the airlines are flying again. Though why the airlines think they are entitled to some sort of compensation for this divine intervention is unclear to me. They have obviously fallen foul of the divinity thanks to their appalling desecration of the Garden of Eden. Yet us mere mortals who are hit by the falling angels suffer the financial loss of a wave of cancellations and demand no so human given support. Call that justice!

Act of God?
April 20th, 2010
One of our clients has declared that the supreme body has intervened in the form of the ash volcanoes of Iceland. For reasons which aren’t really clear to me this means that the client believes they have the right to void the contract they have with us. This places us in a dilemma i.e.:
- Should we seek to verify if the attendees of this conference really can’t attend the conference, in much the same way as an insurance company would seek verification?
- What level of verification should we seek, we simply aren’t geared up for this
- Why should we bear the cost of this cancellation?
- From now on should we charge organisers of events for international events more, commiserate to the increased risk
- Should we try to segment clients according to the likelihood of god intervening in a detrimental way to them and hence to us.
The whole thing is a recipe for madness, we would rather leave god out of it and stick with the untranslatable French ‘ Force Majeure’
