Meeting Matters – Why The Location Of Your Business Meeting Is Important

July 18, 2019 by Post

Meetings are an integral part of everyday business life. Ideally, they are opportunities for maximising productivity, comfort, and collaboration. Whether you are meeting with your team to discuss day-to-day operations or if you are outlining your plans for growth in front of prospective clients or investors, putting some thought into the details of your meetings is important. 

One of the points that can easily be overlooked when putting together any kind of meeting is the location. While there are many different meeting rooms in popular locations throughout Australia, it is important to know what a location can do to make your next meeting a success.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the reasons why the location of your business meeting is important.

Accessibility

Especially if you are a business who frequently meets with new clients and customers, perhaps even in an international context, it is critical that the location of your meeting is easy to find. Making new clients frustrated before they even arrive at your space simply through the difficulties of finding the location is a sure-fire way for them to lose interest in your products and services. It would be a mistake to choose an out-of-the-way meeting site when there are many quality options to choose from that are straightforward to find.

Avoid places that are far away from public transportation or if you are simply meeting with your team avoid places that are far away from your primary offices. This will help to ensure that attendance and participation at these meetings are always high.

Prestige And Reputation

Well-conceived locations for meetings can also add intangible value to your company. Naturally, the décor and interior design of your meeting space give an impression as to the overall reliability and seriousness of your business. Qualities like the reputation or overall image of your business and brand can be improved through attention to details such as this. Premium office space providers ensure that their meeting rooms are always located in central business or financial districts with a prestigious address. Knowing this, you can project the confidence you need to break into your industry and impress future clients.

Choose The Right Type Of Room

Planning for your meeting well in advance will give you the ability to prevent several common mistakes. For example, make sure that the room you intend to use has enough space and seating for the number of people who will be attending. Make sure that the layout of the room is appropriate for the tasks that need to happen during the meeting.

For example, if you are meeting with your executive team, consider using a boardroom-style space to set the tone for a serious convention. For more practical and collaborative meetings, a standard-sized meeting room can provide the space and balance between informality and formality to allow your team to get some work done. If you are planning an interview for a prospective new hire, it can also make sense to choose a smaller and more private office space to establish an environment focused on direct dialogue.

Location Sets The Tone

Even in our digital age, face-to-face interactions and networking are highly important. As such, the office meeting, an established and essential part of businesses everywhere, is unlikely to be obsolete any time soon. Make sure that your next meeting meets your expectations by putting some thought into the location. Setting the tone and atmosphere of your meeting location towards what you want to achieve will aid you in both tangible and intangible ways.
