Simple Meetings at Croke Park

27/11/2018

What are Simple Meetings?

Simple Meetings is a relatively new term used by organisers of meetings and events to describe what should be a straightforward meeting booking process …  simple, right!  But are simple meetings really simple?

These meetings are generally small-capacity, single day events that do not require other services such as accommodation, transportation, agency support or on-site meeting planning services.

They’re simple events for which a meeting room is required for a couple of hours, half day or a full day with coffee breaks, maybe lunch and minimal AV.

The lived experience of meeting room bookers is that simple meetings can involve a long RFP booking process with multiple calls and emails to venues, a wait for proposals, time spent comparing proposals and a contract process akin to buying your first home!   

Another issue is that simple meeting spend can be difficult to track. They’re often invisible, contracted outside standard corporate procurement protocols by teams across the organisation.
