☠️ The five deadlines that kill events
Venue not signed by T-3 months: everything downstream blocks on it.
Sponsor outreach starting after T-3 months: pipelines take 6–10 weeks to close.
Registration below 150% at T-1 week: you will demo to an empty room.
Teams not formed by hour zero: the first 3 hours evaporate.
No follow-up container announced at close: the event evaporates instead.
