1 Have a contingency plan

A contingency plan is a document that outlines the possible risks and challenges that may occur during an event production, and the actions and resources that you will use to mitigate or resolve them. A contingency plan should cover aspects such as venue, equipment, staff, performers, audience, weather, security, health, and legal issues. You should identify the potential causes, effects, and probabilities of each risk, and assign roles and responsibilities to your team members. You should also communicate your contingency plan to all the stakeholders involved in the event production, and review and update it regularly.

I literally wrote a book about things going wrong at events, entitled "Stumbling Toward Applause: Misadventures in Entertainment." If there were one suggestion I would make it would be to write into all supplier contracts that there must be mandatory compliance with all current industry safety and technical standards, including risk management procedures. Most event managers are unaware of these standards.

Produire un événement, c'est être prêt à tout, c'est rester ouvert à tous les imprévus qui sont rarement ceux qu'on a anticipés dans un "plan d'urgence". L'important est d'être disponible, réactif, et de rester calme ; si chacun connait sa mission et que sa fonction est précise, nul besoin d'un "plan d'urgence"

Executing an event entails preparedness for the unexpected—those situations seldom covered by an "emergency plan." The key is to be accessible, responsive, and maintain composure. When everyone is clear about their role and responsibilities, an "emergency plan" becomes unnecessary.

2 Train your team

Your team is your most valuable asset when it comes to dealing with unexpected changes during an event production. You need to ensure that your team members are well-trained, skilled, and adaptable to handle any situation that may arise. You should provide them with clear and consistent instructions, feedback, and support, and encourage them to collaborate and communicate effectively. You should also conduct regular rehearsals, simulations, and drills to test your team's readiness and performance under different scenarios. You should also reward and recognize your team's efforts and achievements.

In my experience, role playing is a powerful way to make your theatrical production more meaningful and it allows you a chance to practice for the unknown. When my youngest daughter played the lead in Kiss Me Kate, her microphone pack was improperly attached to her back. While singing one of her most intense songs, the pack was dangling off her back. She never let it interrupt her onstage performance, though she was fuming inside. As soon as she was done the director pulled the curtains and three students came out to do improv bits to allow time to properly secure the microphone and let my daughter calm down. Having now seen the show before, I didn't notice anything was wrong and was blown away by how professionally they responded.

3 Have backup options

Another way to prepare for unexpected changes during an event production is to have backup options for the key elements of your event. For example, you should have alternative venues, equipment, suppliers, staff, performers, or content that you can use in case of any problems or cancellations. You should also have extra time, money, and materials that you can allocate to deal with any changes or emergencies. Having backup options can help you avoid delays, disruptions, or cancellations of your event, and ensure that you can deliver a quality and safe event to your audience.

Redundancy in critical areas is necessary in order to run a performance smoothly. Things like batteries - while seemingly insignificant, run everything from wireless packs to tuning devices.

4 Monitor and evaluate

Monitoring and evaluating your event production is essential to identify and respond to any unexpected changes that may occur. You should use various tools and methods to collect and analyze data and feedback from your team, your audience, your suppliers, and your partners. You should also use your contingency plan as a reference to check your progress and performance against your goals and expectations. You should also be flexible and open to making changes or improvements based on the information and feedback that you receive.

5 Learn and improve

Finally, you should use every event production as an opportunity to learn and improve your skills and processes. You should document and review the unexpected changes that occurred during your event production, and evaluate how you handled them. You should also identify the root causes, the impacts, and the lessons learned from each change. You should also solicit and incorporate feedback and suggestions from your team, your audience, your suppliers, and your partners. You should also celebrate your successes and acknowledge your challenges. You should then use this information and feedback to update your contingency plan, train your team, and prepare for your next event production.
