Reorganise the agenda by shifting non-critical activities earlier or extending networking sessions. Communicate changes to attendees in real-time through event staff or digital tools, ensuring minimal disruption.

I would try to stay calm and adaptable, quickly communicating with my team to: - rearrange the lineup - extend other segments - introduce a backup plan (for example, a filler segment, a coffee break, an interactive game/exercise etc.) ensuring the guests stay engaged. Flexibility and clear communication are key to maintaining a smooth experience.

Flexibility is key! If a performer runs late, communicate promptly, engage the audience with filler activities, and adjust the schedule by reordering segments. Staying calm and prepared ensures the show goes on smoothly!

To adjust the schedule quickly, I’d first communicate with the performer to get an accurate estimate of their arrival. Meanwhile, I’d rearrange the lineup by moving other acts, extending current performances, or adding engaging filler content like audience interaction or announcements. I’d keep the audience informed subtly, maintaining excitement without highlighting delays. Coordination with the event crew ensures seamless adjustments, keeping the event on track and minimizing disruption.
