Cuando un orador principal cancela una conferencia virtual de manera inesperada, mantener la calma y actuar rápidamente es clave para salvar el evento. Considera invitar a un orador alternativo, como un panelista ya programado o un experto del sector disponible, para cubrir el espacio y ofrecer valor relevante. Si no es viable, convierte la sesión en un panel de discusión o mesa redonda con otros participantes clave, manteniendo la interacción con la audiencia. También puedes utilizar grabaciones previas del orador o contenido relacionado para llenar el vacÃo. Este enfoque asegura que el evento mantenga su impacto y fluidez, superando el contratiempo con profesionalismo.
