Linking an Event to a Meeting Workspace

Linking a SharePoint event to a meeting workspace site provides a centralized place where people can go to get information about the event. Because of the flexibility for customizing the meeting workspace site with a variety of available Web Parts, you can

• Use surveys to find out what attendees are interested in prior to the event or for follow-up evaluation after the event.

• Use document libraries to post notes, slides, or other information about the event.

• Use the text Web Part to provide directions to the event.

• Use tasks to create a to-do list and assign responsibilities to people.

• Use a picture library to post pictures of the event after it has occurred.

• Use a contact list or create a custom list to capture information about attendees—company, email address, phone number, and so on.

These are just a few ideas that illustrate how an event can be managed using a SharePoint meeting workspace site.
