M&C/Asia - February 22, 2022 - Risk management for meeting planners consists of two elements: 1) Duty of care – security and health-related considerations and 2) Financial risk – protecting your company’s financial investment for meetings and events.  Although the pandemic seems to be taking a positive turn and we are seeing clients signing more contracts, it is difficult to predict where the pandemic is headed.  Meeting Escrow’s financial risk management solutions can offset the uncertainty.  We can help put your advance deposits in escrow so that if your event changes – cancels, gets postponed or is altered, the funds are protected.
