Conference Room Scheduling
You may have just started up your own business or been growing to a far more substantial number of employees than just the five or so you started out with. And while it's an exciting time it can also be stressful if you don't have the proper know how about conference room scheduling. Meetings are the easiest way to not only get out important ideas and changes to all your employees at once, but to get feedback as well. But they won't go smoothly unless you are organized and prepared.

If you are calling a meeting, you probably already know what you are looking to discuss. So the first thing you need to figure out is who need to be present at this meeting? Will it be all of your employees or a certain department? Maybe you'll want to pull one person from each department in so they can relay the information to the rest in their group. Make sure you have a list so you know how many seats you'll be needed, number of copies of handouts you may need to make, etc.

Have an agenda. If you are clear with yourself about how you'll proceed through the meeting, what points need to be made and how you are going to present your information, you'll be clear to those in attendance as well. Write out an outline if you have to and make sure all topics are in a logical sequence, as to not confuse or lose the attention of others.

Make sure you are clear about the date, time, and place of the meeting. If you have multiple meetings, the easiest way to make sure they aren't interfering with each other is through meeting scheduling software. You can keep track of every detail and make sure there are no double bookings.

Before the meeting, preferably an hour or so, prepare the meeting room. Give yourself enough time so you're not rushing to make it work when people are filing in. Make sure there should be enough seating, a clean space and set up anything your materials you may need; projectors, laptops, even just cleaning the dry erase board so you have space to write. If everything is prepared in advance it will keep your mind at ease heading into the meeting.

If the meeting is going to rely heavily on others input or may include issues that employees bring up, ask them ahead of time to let you know what they want covered. This way you can schedule it into your time frame conveniently without running longer than you expected, or pushing other topics to the side. You'll want to make sure everything has its fair share of coverage.
