Nothing derails an event faster than discovering another organization has scheduled their big event on your exact date. Sometimes it’s innocent. Sometimes it’s political. Sometimes it’s a whole thing.

In this episode of Destination Roadmapping, we’re tackling event conflicts head-on. What causes them, what to do the moment they happen, and how to prevent them from ever happening again.

You’ll learn:
~~ Why event conflicts cost communities more than they realize
~~ How to create systems that make conflicts nearly impossible
~~ The 4 types of event conflicts (and which one is the real troublemaker)
~~ The script to use when reaching out to the other organizer
~~ How to decide whether to stay, shift, merge, or collaborate
~~ What to communicate publicly, and
~~ How to turn one frustrating moment into permanent community improvements

Event conflicts don’t have to become turf wars. When handled well, they strengthen relationships, build better calendars, and protect the visitor experience. And that's the whole point, isn't it?.

Thanks for listening!
