Any tips for hosting a successful meeting?

Sure! Here are our top 5 tips for hosting a successful meeting.

1. Clearly define the purpose and goals of the meeting - Before the meeting, take some time to define why you want to host it. Do you want to discuss the next project, sum up the recent achievements or finish something important? Setting a clear goal not only will help you find the best space that meets all of your needs but also guide you to plan the whole function so that everyone will be engaged and productive. 
2. Create an agenda - An agenda is a useful tool for keeping the meeting organised and on schedule. It should include such elements like the topics to be discussed, who will lead each discussion, and how much time will be allocated for each topic.
3. Invite the right people - Make sure to invite only those people who are necessary for the meeting. This will help keep the meeting focused and productive. 
4. Start and end on time - Respect your attendees' time by starting and ending the meeting on time. They will appreciate it and will be more eager to attend the next one. 
5. Encourage participation - Encourage participation from all attendees by asking for their input and ideas. This will help create a sense of ownership and engagement.
