2. Before, During, & After the Meeting

2.1. Before the Meeting

Some tasks to complete before the meeting begins:

  • Confirm with the speakers what their speech times are. Most speeches are five to seven minutes, though speakers may request more or less time; some projects have multiple timing requirements
  • Confirm that you have a timer's worksheet
  • Confirm that you have timer flags or timer lights
  • Confirm you have a timekeeping device (stopwatch or otherwise)

If you are using one of the timer PowerPoint files found in the files section for this course, make sure you have a laptop or tablet that are compatible.
