Managing a big town hall meeting differs from managing a brainstorming session or monthly meeting. You need to take these into consideration and think about how you’re going to approach them. Brainstorming sessions will generally have a lot more engagement and collaboration. Meanwhile, town hall meetings will have more information involved.

Think about the people who will be present
