And...The exercise of organizing a meeting that is able to successfully achieve the goals it intends involves a lot of connective elements. There are several different aspects that need special attention and organizing.

Priority should be given to everything that is connected to the meeting and this includes covering areas from the beginning of the birth of the idea to have a meeting up to the actual follow up procedures involved after the meeting has taken place.

Mapping out the intentions behind having the meeting would be a good place to start. The “why” factor is very important to establish as this will give direction to the design and execution of the meeting content, venue, time, target audience and many other elements.
