When Things Go Wrong

Even the best-planned university events face unexpected disruptions: unexpected university semester exam rescheduling, sudden local elections, or torrential rain flooding outdoor venues.

Transparent Communication Framework 1. Immediate Announcement: Update your event landing page on Spark within 30 minutes with bold status banners. 2. Automatic Ticket Rolling: Preserve existing attendee ticket codes for the rescheduled date so students do not need to re-register. 3. Frictionless Refund Window: Offer a 48-hour opt-out window where attendees can request UPI refunds directly if the new date conflicts with their schedule.
