A Key Risk Indicator, or KRI, is how management companies measure how risky an activity is for the organization. The KRI is a sublet of the bigger category, operational risks. The operational risk is a broader term that can include not only risk from activities, but from people and products as well. An organization basically has to decide if the risk is worth the pay off or not, otherwise they could be heading for a disaster.

When holding a conference for your organization or company, there are quite a few things that could go wrong. If you prepare yourself for them, they won't seem as bad if they do occur. Although conference risk indicators are pretty minute, recognizing them early could save you a deal of trouble later down the road. One of the biggest things to look out for is power failure. Even if it just goes out for a minute, it can vastly affect the way your conference continues. Preparing for this is pretty simple and you just need to ensure you have a back up source. During most conferences a presentation is being made on a projection screen. If your laptop battery can continue to support the presentation without having to be plugged in, you could still be in business. However, most projection screens do not have a battery option so you may want to have a USB power converter on hand just in case.

Another risk you need to watch for is having the water go out. This not only affect people using the restroom, but also the kitchen staff preparing your food for the conference goers. If you are holding your conference at a hotel, this could be even more dramatic because the guest now risks the chance of not being able to shower and use the water at all. This is extremely rare but it can happen and if it does you should have a plan. Try and hold your conference in a well populated area. If a lot of people are affected by the water loss, the water companies will see it more as a priority and come out to fix the problem sooner. This will also ensure your guest they can at least use the restroom while you all wait for the repair because there will be gas stations, restaurants and even other hotels in the area to use. This isn't the idea situation for your guest to have to walk to another location to use the restroom, but hopefully they understand that these indicators are very hard to see.

Knowing your conference risk indicators can help you run a smoother enterprise and presentation no matter what your conference is over. Always prepare yourself for anything that could happen to negatively affect the flow of your conference. Keep back up batteries, backup plans to execute if the power or water does go out, and a plan to keep your guest happy and more importantly, interested. This can be especially true if your guest have paid to attend your conference.
