3 Things to Consider When Returning to In-Person Meetings
=========================================================
We know choosing to host a meeting in-person is a big step and in the current environment, choosing the set-up, [type of venue](https://www.turningstone.com/press/articles/meetings/types-of-venues-for-corporate-events), dining itinerary and planning the guest experience can be difficult. Let our dedicated [event specialists](https://www.turningstone.com/groups-events#meet-event-specialists) help you with these tips.
**1. Space is Key**
With social distancing measures and capacity restrictions, consider venues that are spacious enough to accommodate your group while allowing for proper distancing.
Tip: Social distancing doesn't have to make collaboration suffer. Non-traditional room configurations and seating can help foster team-building, networking and participation while adhering to guidelines.
At Turning Stone, we have over 200,000+ square feet of meeting space for you to choose from. Your event specialists can help you configure the best setup!
**2. Dining**
Buffets are out, but white-glove service and individual servings are in.
Tip: Try taking advantage of this high-end service to take your event to the next level. Play with colors, branding and fun individual goodies.
When planning your meeting at Turning Stone, you can choose from a variety of dining options that best suit your needs including an extended list of pre-packaged and preset menus.
**3. Guest Experience**
As fellow meeting planners, you know your guest experience is top priority. It's ours too! You can still infuse some fun while adhering to safety standards. Take advantage of this opportunity to add in some non-traditional group activities.
Tip: Virtual classes or in-person team building outside allows guests to interact with each other while adhering to guidelines.
At Turning Stone, our dedicated AV team can help you set up virtual [group cooking classes](https://www.turningstone.com/press/articles/meetings/team-building-with-taste-eight-culinary-team-building-activities), wellness sessions or you can book group golf outings for the ultimate team experience. Our event specialists can help you find the perfect interactive activity for your event.
Although things are slightly different, there is a way to safely return to in-person meetings. With our expertise, we can help you with returning to safe, engaging in-person events.
Let's start the conversation about your next meeting.
