Wrapping up

Close the meeting

Make sure to have a clear end to the event with a thank you to participants, instructions to safely leave the venue, and any potential further action items or communication that can be relayed to attendees.

Clean up

Then, clean up the venue – you want to be invited back in the future – and do any other closing tasks.

For large events, we suggest hiring a cleaning crew if you have the budget to do so – especially in venues with large numbers of attendees or food. Your staff and volunteers will be tired after running an event, and professionals may have cleaning tools that exceed what you have available.
