Little things can hamstring meetings:
a poster that won’t stay on the wall, an empty stapler, three power
cords vying for two outlets. In response, Personality Hotels (www.personalityhotels.com), a collection of seven
boutique hotels in San Francisco, has created the “Emergency
Resources Kit,” free for planners who book meeting space at certain
properties. Other planners might want to create their own (ordering
almost everything from Staples.com would cost about $60). Included:
a stapler and staples, tape, a pencil sharpener, Post-it notes,
scissors, pens, rubber bands, poster adhesive, a power strip, cough
drops, Band-Aids, hand sanitizer, laundry stain remover, Listerine
Breath Strips and more.
