Top tips for your London meeting

Good morning! August is over and everyone’s coming back from their summer holidays ready for the new busy business season. The offices are filling up again and managers are organising new meetings to train and inform their team, work with partners or speak with clients.

Last week we spoke about the best venues for an event or dinner in London, trying to give you a suggestion for every need. This time we thought we’d drop a few hints to shape an efficient and organised meeting. So without further ado…

Here are the top tips for a good meeting:

1. Communicate timing to all members: Date – place – time – don’t rely on someone to spread the word for you.
2. Ask every person involved if he/she has any particular topics to add, aside from the main agenda.
3. Involve a person as an assistant to help you in the organisation of the meeting (to prepare material, presentation, issues and to take minutes).
4. A choice of snacks, hot drinks or biscuits will bode well for getting your team members’ attention.
5. Send everybody the minutes immediately after the meeting.
