We looked at our client, the event organizer, who was the one paying us, not the presenter. They were not happy with that statement.

“They get what they get, don’t even bother moving the furniture.”

Yes ma’am.

It was not, the event organizers were not happy with that statement as we try to accommodate and had made all of the presentations up till that point go off without a hitch.

I do events, one of the events was a medical conference. We had an exec for a pharmaceutical company presenting and he wanted the entire stage layout changed 45 minutes before the presentation. Like completely different projectors, screens, mics, that sort of thing. Not a quick fix by any means. We told him it wasn’t possible, his response,

“Anything is possible if money and physics allow it, and I have money.”

Their pharmaceutical company wasn’t invited back to the next years event. We were.

And people wonder why I still play Factorio, Parkitect, ATS, or RCT. People suck and being able to ignore them is great.
