This week, Sean and Ricky are in the studio talking about something our team has found incredibly helpful in the event planning process: clarity meetings. These meetings are essential to a team looking to stay on the same page when it comes to planning an event.&nbsp;
Some questions we like to ask during a clarity meeting include:
<ul>
 <li>What is the organization and what is the event for?</li>
 <li>Who are the main contacts and what are their main responsibilities for the event?</li>
 <li>What did we promise them (number of people, equipment, games, etc.)?</li>
 <li>What should our team wear?</li>
 <li>What is the frequency of touchpoints needed for this event?</li>
 <li>Is a site visit needed?</li>
 <li>What are the next steps?</li>
</ul>
These meetings should be anywhere from 5 - 30 minutes long, and if done right, can save your team tons of time. We've found that they are also a great way to spark some creative ideas when team members talk through the process together.&nbsp;
