An act of god

typhoon Wutip

You probably know these clauses in contract that allows you not to fulfill your duty in the case an act of god gets in your way. Well, we are just having this week our third assignment and we have quite an act of god at our hands.

One of our speakers is in Beijing and cannot fly because typhoon Wipha is hitting Shanghai today and tomorrow. In the real spirit our speaker is now trying to take the train, but he might not be the only one to try this. Looks like tomorrow we have to dig up a reserve candidate speaker.
