Summary
Hybrid meetings – a combination of virtual and face-to-face attendance – represent an increasingly popular form of meeting. This chapter reviews factors that we contend are instrumental in the effectiveness of such meetings. It is important that the decision to hold a meeting with virtual presence is congruent with the meeting type or purpose and attendee goals; this chapter also acknowledges the contribution of attendee behaviors and cultural styles of communication to the effectiveness of hybrid meetings. Future research directions, emphasizing the importance of taking a holistic approach, are discussed.
