WHAT’S AN AIR-MEETING?

Helping Make the World One

Just-in-time meetings can be critical for work teams made up of professional colleagues who are normally dispersed far and wide. At times, there is a need to air-meet.

While much can be done by telephone, email, texting, tele-conferencing and video-conferering, sometimes there is need for face-to-face meetings. At times, meetings need to be organized with little advanced notice. Pulling them off presents logistical and time-sensitive challenges, but agile and limber organizations have distinct competitive advantages. Deciding to meet at an airport is increasingly a good idea. It‘s easy to air-meet.

When you air-meet, your team flies into a convenient airport, meets, and then returns home. No need to overnight. The meeting logistics are quick and easy, but you need a space that is both conducive to serious communication and ease of interaction. Your colleagues should feel comfortable and ready to speak, listen, and learn.
