• Keep it local – Try to find a meeting space close to your office to ensure the best turn out. Edinburgh is a big city with many meeting rooms to choose from, so it shouldn't be hard to find an appropriate space in close proximity to your workplace. If you have many coworkers who commute anyway, what about making a compromise? Edinburgh Old Town and New Town are centrally located, so why not look for a meeting place around there?

• Spice it up – If you want to make your meeting extra memorable, or if the nature of your meeting allows you to take some liberties, why not go for a more laid-back setting? A café or a pub could be a nice alternative to a formal meeting room. Leith and Dalry have many interesting venues to offer in this category, so why not take a look?
