Understanding Difficult Contract Clauses – the “Other” Clauses (Room Meeting Room 4/5)

29 Jan 20
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Tracks: Session

Although performance clauses like attrition and cancellation are challenging, it is sometimes the other clauses that create the biggest concerns.  And beware to the group that overlooks them!  Addressing issues like construction and remodeling, conflicting in-house groups, surcharges and fees, environmental issues and more, this session will help prepare you for trends that are affecting meetings and, by extension, meeting contracts. Learn what to ask for and how to deal with pending construction and remodeling that may not have been on the radar at the time of contracting. Participants will assess the effects of the current environment on contract negotiations—including everything from drone photography to the latest surcharges and fees being levied by hotels. And you’ll gain an understanding of how to address the environmental and altruistic issues of concern to the meeting organizer and their attendees.
