7 Meeting Planning Villains: What Every EA Must Outsmart in 2026

Meeting planning in 2026 comes with more pressure due to distributed teams, tighter budgets, faster timelines, and leaders who expect polished, seamless meetings. But the real trouble often comes from the hidden pitfalls inside the planning process itself: unclear goals, rushed estimates, lost attendee details, scattered logistics, and last-minute pivots. This webinar introduces a new way to spot those planning pitfalls early and keep them from taking over your meetings.

Join us to learn:

  • Early warning signs of plans going off track
  • Good habits that prevent small issues from snowballing
  • Practical steps you can use to stay ahead of the curve

If you want clearer processes, fewer surprises, and more confidence in 2026, this webinar is built for you.
