Meeting Time Frames
What time frames are you considering for your meeting? Here are three options for consideration. I've noted the Pros and Cons of each. I am seeing an increase in the interest of the "compressed schedule". It provides full day content and allows the group to depart early. The retention level increases when the session closes early in the afternoon rather than late in the afternoon.

| Benefits |
Provides networking time at lunch. Lunch is provided or "on your own" |
Break refreshments are less costly than lunch, group leaves early yet receives full day content. Attendees will appreciate light refreshments in the first break. Alternatively, you may offer a light brunch for one of the 2 breaks. |
Eliminates lunch issue entirely, releases group early |
