How to Create a Meeting Agenda That'll Make Employees Actually Want to Attend Most of us dread going to meetings. But there are some simple things you can do to the agenda that will actually attract people instead of repel them.

One thing will always be true: As long as there are businesses, there will be meetings and events — and boring agendas. Why not take a different approach and create a meeting or live event that people will be raving about long after it's over?

To accomplish that, you'll need a fresh mindset and a new focus on the team members who will be attending. Consider your attendees as honored guests. Look for ways to shift the focus from ticking off a checklist of discussion items to making your participants more comfortable and engaged in the proceedings. Getting creative with your events helps your brand make a bigger splash and accomplish your goals.
