| The
environment & equipment
This
is something that is often overlooked but it really does
set the tone of the whole session.
I
pay particular attention to this as first impressions count
to the attendees. You do not want attention drawn away from
what you are trying to achieve to negative comments about
the noise outside the room or the heating that will just
not turn off!
When
you first enter the room, what is your first impression?
Does
it have natural light? Is the colour cheerful or drab?
Is
the room large enough for your needs?
Will
everyone be able to see your materials i.e flip or wallboard
at the front?
Will
everyone be able to hear your voice at the front?
Are
the chairs comfortable? This is very important especially
if you are having an all day planning meeting for example
Is
the room in close proximity to the toliets? To the restaurant?
Where you will be having refreshments?
Can
you control the temperature within the room and do you know
how to do it!
Whatever
you are doing make sure that the room is designed so that
attendees can SEE and HEAR!
That
is priority number 1.
