Tips for using teleconferencing for meeting preparation

If you use teleconferencing as part of your meeting planning and preparation, you realize the real success of those calls are to you. Planning and preparation is key. However, it's obviously not possible to plan all the details especially for last minute or emergency meetings.

Susan has offered 33 tips and guidelines which might assist you during future calls:

Advance Planning
1. Make a list of all attendees and check that they're availability on the date and time planned.
2. Check with the service provider you choose if they require a reservation and if so, how much notice do they need.
3. Decide on the options you will use for your call. Will it be dial-in or dial-out?
4. Contact all participants and give them the date and time of the teleconference. Always remember to specify the time zone.
