Information
The contract sitting on your desk looks different than it did a few years ago. New
clauses, shifting terms, and emerging liabilities are showing up in hotel and venue
agreements — and not always in your favor. For medical meetings professionals, the
stakes are even higher.
This session brings a hotelier, an attorney, and a medical meetings event professional
together for an honest conversation about what's changed in contracting in 2026 and
what you need to watch for. Then you'll put it into practice: each table works through
sample contracts, identifying potential liabilities and protection strategies together. The
session closes with a share-out, so the whole room benefits from what every table
found.
Walk out knowing what to look for, what to push back on, and how to better protect your
events going forward.
