Although business meetings come in many sizes and have a range of measurable parameters distinguishing them from one another, they share the common objective of accelerating and enhancing human communications. Attempts to improve meeting logistics and the use of networks to reduce the need to physically bring together people who are at a distance reduce meeting overhead and increase participation but, unfortunately, everyone has both positive and negative meeting experiences. In the future, there will be many new processes and technologies to help participants and organizers prepare and manage meetings for superior communications and outcomes.
