Meeting And Conference Management

Ideally, a meeting should have a standard scheduled date and starting time. The length of the meeting may be fixed (that is, have a specified ending time), or it may be determined by the volume of business to conduct. At its first meeting, the group should decide whether to set an ending time. It is important that the leader adhere to these times in subsequent meetings. In addition to planning the agenda, the leader should make sure the meeting site has a favourable environment. Meeting participants will contribute to and get more from the meeting if they are comfortable. Ineffective meetings use critical resources, sap organizational energy and movement, and affect employee morale. Find out how to make your meetings work for you. People spend so much time in meetings that turning meeting time into sustained results is a priority. The book deals with management of everything in meeting and conference.
