How to prevent it and how to deal with it when it happens
Speakers will drop out throughout the planning process for a wide range of reasons. Building a sense of community and belonging among your symposium participants helps reduce the chance that speakers drop out. To build a sense of community, hold regular speaker meetings to support your invited speakers and check in regularly with your invited speakers. Doing so also lets you know quickly if a speaker needs to drop out.
Find more tips at the page on what to do when a speaker drops out.
