For anyone organising an academic conference???

1 day before the conference starts…

Arrive at the conference room early in the morning
Find that the room is locked
Check your emails to confirm that the room should have been unlocked
Go to the caretaker’s office to ask for the room to be unlocked
Find the caretaker’s office locked and go looking for him
Notice that the signs put up to direct guests to the conference room are all pointing the wrong way
Regret that you delegated the job of putting up the signs to someone else
Redo all the signs
Return to the caretaker’s office to find it still locked
Go back to the conference room to find the caretaker unlocking the door
Control your temper when the caretaker asks you why you are late
