Meeting Support Institute

Use natural light.
Whenever possible, try to arrange for meetings (or breakout sessions) outside the classic four-wall meeting room. Windows that let in natural light keep people energized and contribute to mental stimulus. "Windows make a huge difference in our ability to think big and be open-minded" .
For example, on a wintry February day someone was hosting a creative idea session in a room with large windows on three walls. Winter snow on the surrounding fields made for a scene out of Currier & Ives, which became even more memorable when two baby goats nosed up to the windows looking for handouts. The experience sparked a variety of fresh ideas. When the weather is good, small groups can meet outdoors, even poolside, to stimulate creative thinking and allow attendees to breathe in fresh air.
This article is just an example of how the industry believes that daylight is important.
