Planning for Effective Facilitation of Virtual Meetings

When facilitating a virtual stakeholder meeting it is important that facilitators consider the meeting from the experience of participants: What will participants need to have and know prior to the meeting? What will they need to be able to see, hear, and do during the meeting? This resource aims to help facilitators review technical considerations they plan a virtual stakeholder meeting that fully and effectively engages participants. This checklist includes technical considerations for scheduling, staffing, selecting tools and activities, practicing, and reviewing input after the event. Visit the collection of Tools to Support Effective Virtual Stakeholder Meetings for additional resources related to virtual stakeholder meetings.
