Carole B. Soxa,∗, Sheryl F. Kline b, Tena B. Crews Identifying best practices, opportunities and
barriers in meeting planning for Generation Y. International Journal of Hospitality
Management 36(244-254)
The purpose of this study is to identify best practices, opportunities and barriers when planning
virtual and hybrid meetings for a Generation Y audience (1979–2000). Using a modified Delphi
technique, an expert panel of meeting professionals completed four rounds of the Delphi to determine
group common consent. The panel of experts who participated had planned traditional, virtual and
hybrid meetings for associations, corporations and/or government groups. Resulting
recommendations for best practices for virtual meetings included offering shorter sessions to remote
participants and providing easy to use technology; opportunities included gamification and interactive
components; and barriers included perception of effectiveness and attendees preoccupation with
technology. Forhy brid meetings, best practices included adding social networking components, and
providing positive feedback to participants; opportunities included incorporating interactive
components and including challenging but solvable games; and barriers included perception of fun
and keeping material challenging enough.
