The speaker who ghosts on you at the last minute, leaving no replacement behind

That Wi-Fi you paid an arm and a leg for? It just went down and no one knows when it'll be back up.

When the hotel rep you’ve been working with for 9 months vanishes right before the big meeting

That ugly-baby short-term, no-sleeping-nights event that no one wants to house

It's after midnight and the hotel makes your most important VIPs do the zombie walk to a hotel that's 10 miles away

The dreaded room block pirate, out to add your atttendees' room nights to his ill-gotten booty

The room temps are off, the food service is late, the room set needs changing ASAP, and your phone just died

The sales person who leaves a wake of cards as he relentlessly pursues new business at any cost

That person at the cocktail party who thinks it's so cool that you plan parties for a living. Also, those who think it's all about traveling to exotic places and actually being able to enjoy being there.
