We’ve all been in meetings that drag on a little too long, feel a little too quiet, or somehow end without clear direction. At HUONE Singapore, we believe great meetings don’t just happen, they’re crafted with intention.
Evon, our CEO, shares her top tips to help you transform your next session into one that’s energizing, purposeful, and productive.
1. Switch it up to spark new energy
Feeling the room getting a bit heavy after lunch? Try this simple but powerful trick:
Ask participants to stand up and switch seats.
It might sound small, but suddenly everyone gets a new perspective, literally and figuratively. They’ll meet someone new, see the room from a different angle, and the shift in energy can instantly bring your session back to life.
At HUONE, we see this all the time. A little movement goes a long way in keeping creativity (and conversation) flowing.

2. Set the stage for better collaboration
Room setup can make or break your meeting flow. The right layout can encourage participation, connection, or focus — depending on what you’re aiming for.
Evon recommends three classic setups that work wonders:
-
U-shape: Perfect for teams that want an open dialogue. The presenter has an equal view of everyone, which encourages engagement.
-
Group table: Great for icebreaking! Small clusters make it easy to chat, share ideas, and refresh the atmosphere between sessions.
-
Theatre style: Ideal for large groups where you need maximum attention on the screen or stage. Best when your session involves presentations or keynotes.
At HUONE, every room is designed to be flexible, so you can easily switch from one setup to another to match your agenda.

3. Keep everyone on track with clear timelines
Nothing unsettles participants more than not knowing when things will wrap up.
A quick reminder from the MC or presenter about the agenda and end time helps everyone stay engaged and less distracted by their watches .
✨ Clear timelines = happier, focused audiences.
It’s a small act of courtesy that makes a big difference to the meeting experience.

Bonus insight: Always start with “why”
Before you even hit “send” on that meeting invite, ask yourself:
“What is it you’re really trying to achieve in your meeting?” — Evon, CEO of HUONE
Dig deep.
-
What single outcome will make this meeting a success?
-
Who actually needs to be in the room to achieve it?
When every meeting has a clear purpose, you’ll not only save time, you’ll make it more meaningful for everyone involved.
