Meeting logistics are all the details that help a meeting go well, beyond who is invited, the agenda, facilitator and content.  A good logistics plan describes information such as:

  • room set-up, including numbers of chairs, tables, flip-charts, etc.
  • items for the registration table
  • materials for break-out groups and activities
  • audio/video system requirements
  • catering and refreshments

…and who is responsible for which items.

Many conflicts, misguided priorities and poor communication can be avoided if people can recognize the problems in their speech habits and work towards more fair and respectful forms of talk.
