   I have a question on Holding COnference calls
   What should one say before closing the bridge?
   I have heard people saying ” Let me go around the horn and see if anyone has any questions/comments before I end the today’s call? ” Is this a good way?

   Ecineko;

   What I do is go over the agenda that you just went over in the meeting and then ask everyone around the room you are in if there are any more comments. I then ask everyone on the other side (if you have a list of attendees online ask everyone) if they have any questions. At that point you end the call with one last “any last comments or questions” before hanging up. This provides you with the opportunity to engage each person one at a time. Although it is lengthy it can be effective. You definitely have to have a “parking lot” so that you do not end up with numerous side bars that extend the meeting (if you took a parking lot during the meeting you go over action items, who owns them, and when they are due before hanging up) beyond it’s scheduled time or usefulness.

   Hope this helps.

   I don’t know if this helps you, and I am interested to see what anyone else says.

   When you finish the agenda, you don’t open a meeting back up for other items. All this does is encourage ideas and issues from coming up when they are supposed to. Other than parking lot items - which generally are NOT to be added when you cover it at the very end, the meetings’ OVER.

   End it without any sort of round robin. The meeting has a purpose. When it’s achieved or time has run out, STOP.

   “Okay, we’re done. Thanks all - goodbye!” And hang up.

   Mark
