I prefer in person meetings. A lot can be said without a word being spoken.

In-person is always preferable, though, nowadays not realistic as the single format. At best, it’s a blend of different types of meeting formats.

Hard to choose a preference since both are needed. I might break with tradition and say virtual, only because I have been involved in several office-based migrations of staff to remote workforce solutions, and I have seen that it can work. In fact, it's imperative that the organization makes it work or it shouldn't bother with a virtual solution in the first place.

These days the various technologies allow most meetings to be held virtually and there are many different options to choose from in determining what type of meeting to run. Personally I prefer face-to-face meetings but open to virtual meetings based on the situations.

There is no match to face to face meetings but owing to virtual teams, time and expenses involved in getting people together and other commitments, virtual meetings are becoming the preference.

I will go with in person. Being able to be in he same room is the best experience if it is an option.

Project cost pressure and location barrier's of geographical scattered teams compel to do virtual meeting. Indeed virtual meetings is a cost effective mechanism to satisfactorily achieve objectives.

However if location is not a barrier in-person meeting is best.

Is not about my preference. Is about the world it is. In my personal opinion the world is virtual and virtual teams is the way to work. Perhaps I am saying that because in my last 25 years I am working with virtual teams with people distributed around the world.

Agree with Theresa and Najam, a lot can be conveyed with out even spoken a single work in face to face meeting, in my opinion in person meetings proved to be best
