Trying to keep on top of cancellations when your boss travels frequently can be quite a job sometimes. Thanks for sharing it! That’s a great tip, Lily.

I find I very rarely miss an RSVP date now! Another similar tip I use - this one for cancellation dates for hotel rooms. I send myself a delayed delivery email that reads something along the lines of "today is the last day to cancel the hotel room in (city) for (conference)", and set it to the day before the cancellation policy. (It's always good to take into account your boss's untimely response!) This way, no matter where I am, I get this email on my iphone, and can immediately forward it to my boss.
