Yes, please share your presentation experience. I would be interested in seeing the presentation if you were willing to. Many great points shared. From my perspective
- restrict attendees to those required,
- consider those that need to remain informed, though not required in the meeting,
- cater to the audience, keep notes succinct and centralized with a hyperlink - SharePoint (Maria, are you surprised?) :)

@Anupam, yes, this is the article that I found the calculator. Thank you for sharing!

Sergio,

You've touched on a key part of every meeting I plan these days—cost. In my experience, this is one of the most commonly overlooked factors but it matters. If you don't carefully plan and structure your meetings using many of the topics Lori outlines, you can end up leaving a meeting that costs the company (and maybe your project) thousands of dollars with no decisions, action items, or clear understanding of what comes next.

Lori,

I feel as if you have a comprehensive list and hope the presentation goes well. One thing that might be worth covering near the end is the fact that sometimes the most effective meeting is the one that never occurs.

Hello Lori,

Not much to add, most of the points already covered. Adding to @Maria, here are few more links you can consider -

Hi Lory, It seems a complete agenda to build your presentation, there are a lot of great questions and options to discuss during the presentation.

Allow me to ask you one question. How long are you planning for this presentation?

I've seen that you had participated in the discussion that I've posted yesterday. Anyway, I include here for the people interested in the topics about meetings.

Anupam recommended me following blog entry where the author noted 10 ground rules. Did you check it? Maybe will be useful.

Also, I've checked the on-demand webinars and there are great contributions about meetings. You only need to use the search content and filter by webinar.

Hope it helps and good luck

Maria, I just had an opportunity to read the article you sent the link on about MEETINGS ARE JUST NOT WORTH THE TIME by Sean Whitaker. I agree with Sean's remarks and that is why I wanted to put together this presentation on making sure our meetings are effective. Thank you so much for sharing his article with me. It really resonated with me! The items he listed should be included in our ground rules as we set up recurring meetings. Great reminders!
