What example falls under the category of program-related risk?

  1. Heavy drinkers in the audience

  2. Political Speaker

  3. Remote venue location

  4. Bullying in the classroom

The correct answer is: Political Speaker

The correct response focuses on the specific elements of risk that can directly impact the success and safety of a meeting or event. A political speaker can introduce program-related risk due to the potential for controversial opinions, heightened emotions, and unpredictability in audience reactions. This can lead to disruptions, protests, or negative outcomes that directly affect the planned agenda and the overall experience for attendees. The other scenarios may represent various forms of risk but do not specifically relate to the content of the program or its execution in the same direct way. Heavy drinkers could potentially affect the atmosphere or safety but are more related to attendee behavior rather than the program itself. A remote venue impacts logistical considerations rather than the program content. Bullying, while a serious issue, pertains more to the environment and interactions among attendees than to program-related risks.
