In a world of remote relationships however, hospitality and human connection has become more important than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Establishing meaningful in-person meetings with clients, customers or colleagues is a sure way to advocate for your brand and company, and allows you to show up as an ambassador for your company\u2019s mission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before, during, and after an in-person meeting, you have the opportunity to give a face and personality to your work, and that will resonate with the people you meet with. In-person meetings are a great way to establish a positive first impression or solidify a lasting perception.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Witnessing how our clients welcome their visitors everyday around the world, inspired us to create an in-person meeting checklist for creating powerful in-person meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">1.\u00a0First things first\u2014decide who is hosting the meeting<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When an in-person meeting is scheduled, confirm who is hosting whom. Will the meeting be at your office or theirs? This will help you know the level of preparation and involvement needed through the whole process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 1024px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/437856\/Blog_images\/blog-in-person-meetings-dress-code.jpg\" alt=\"blog-in-person-meetings-dress-code.jpg\" width=\"1024\" \/><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is also a good stage to set the tone of meeting formality.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In many companies, the dress-code has become in recent years more casual. Many offices and employers carry that into their meetings, setting a comfortable meeting-tone as opposed to the old days of suits and panty hose.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Send an invitation with useful information<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As soon as you\u2019re able to outline the meeting\u2019s goals and timeline, you can send out an invite to anyone joining. Don\u2019t forget to add useful information such as the address with directions (Google Map!) and your contact details, so your visitor knows how to reach you in case her or she runs late.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3. Create a physical meeting space, even if your office doesn\u2019t \u2018have one\u2019<\/h2>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many offices have designated conference or meeting rooms for hosting in-person meetings, and if that\u2019s the case, make sure you block out space for yours. Occasionally, you\u2019ll need to get creative making space for your meeting.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scheduling a meeting at a restaurant, the courtyard of your office building or a co-working space is totally acceptable if you\u2019re lacking conference rooms &#8211; just make sure people know where to go!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>4. Test everything prior to starting<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At least a day before the meeting, test the Wi-Fi connectivity, speakers, projector, sound, lighting and platforms to be used to make sure all tools you plan to use function properly. We suggest even doing a full practice round testing equipment and platforms in the meeting space to make sure things are working smoothly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re hosting a meeting, know that the person or people you\u2019re hosting will get an impression of you and your brand the minute they walk into the office door &#8211; which means you have a great opportunity to prime them for a meaningful and personal interaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h5>\n<h2>5. Keep in mind that the meeting begins when visitors walk in the door<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We designed our iPad check-in app to allow a complete customization of the welcome screen and entry questions for a secure and welcoming check-in experience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/437856\/Blog_images\/blog-in-person-meetings-dimension-data.jpg\" alt=\"blog-in-person-meetings-dimension-data.jpg\" width=\"750\" height=\"498\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. Prepare, know your value, and go with the flow<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For any kind of meeting &#8211; give yourself some wiggle-room! Even after you\u2019ve done all the preparation possible, people will run late, Wi-Fi will go out, and you might trip up a few words, but you can still host an effective and meaningful in-person meeting.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 1024px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/437856\/Blog_images\/blog-in-person-meetings-authenticity.jpg\" alt=\"blog-in-person-meetings-authenticity.jpg\" width=\"1024\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If\/when things don\u2019t go perfectly as planned, be honest and open with your visitors, then continue to do your best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Creating the most meaningful in-person experience possible<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope these tips are helpful for you the next time you\u2019re hosting an in-person meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you work with\u00a0clients all over the world\u00a0and mostly organize online meetings via Skype, Zoom or another app of choice, this doesn&#8217;t mean the first impressions don&#8217;t count.
