Make sure both your event venue and your attendees know the goal of the meeting. Is the focus of the meeting a day-long presentation where attendees will be listening more than talking and taking a lot of notes? Is the goal to create networking opportunities and getting a group of people talking and connecting? Communicating this ahead of time helps set your meeting up for success from two perspectives:
•
The Club puts a lot of thought into setting up a room for your event and, if you communicate what the goal is, the Club will ensure the proper environment is created. From where tables are placed to the number of seats at each table to the timing of breaks, all of this plays a behindthe-scenes role in setting your meeting up for success.
•
Make sure your attendees know what to expect and, if possible, provide an agenda. If a long presentation is planned, make sure to provide ways for attendees to take notes, or ask them to bring plenty of paper and a pen. If the goal is networking, make sure to give them a reminder to pack plenty of business cards and anticipate moving around and speaking with many people.
