Some directors are in the boardroom. Others are joining remotely. Everyone stays connected, and the governance process stays intact.

The way companies meet is changing. While many boards still prefer face-to-face meetings, it is not always possible for every director to be physically present. Travel, location, work commitments and other circumstances can make physical attendance difficult.

That doesn’t mean the meeting has to be postponed.With BoardMeet, companies can effectively manage hybrid board meetings where some directors are physically present while others participate remotely.

One Meeting. Two Locations. One Boardroom.

A hybrid meeting should not feel like two separate meetings happening at the same time. The directors in the room should be able to participate alongside those joining remotely, while the company secretary maintains a clear and accurate record of the proceedings. BoardMeet helps bring the administrative side of both experiences together.

Before the meeting

The meeting is created and organised on BoardMeet, with details such as:

  • Meeting date and time
  • Physical venue
  • Meeting type
  • Directors and other participants
  • Board papers and supporting documents

 

Whether a director is attending from the boardroom or joining remotely, everyone can have access to the same meeting information.No more wondering which version of the agenda or board paper was circulated.

During the meeting

The physical attendees can meet in the boardroom while remote participants join virtually. At the same time, the company secretary can use BoardMeet to manage the meeting.
Attendance can be recorded for both physical and remote participants, while the secretary can document the proceedings as the meeting progresses.

Agenda items can be followed systematically, with relevant discussions, decisions, resolutions and action points recorded against the meeting.

The result?

Everyone participates in the same meeting, and the company maintains one organised meeting record.

 

Keep Your Board Papers in One Place

One of the biggest challenges with hybrid meetings is keeping everyone working from the same documents.
With BoardMeet, relevant meeting documents can be organised with the meeting, giving directors a central point of reference for the agenda and board papers.

This reduces reliance on multiple email attachments, WhatsApp messages and scattered document versions.

Capture Decisions as They Happen

Board meetings aren’t just about discussions.They are about decisions.

BoardMeet helps the company secretary capture the important outcomes of the meeting, including resolutions, decisions and action points. This creates a clearer record of what was agreed, who is responsible for follow-up and what needs to happen next.

What Happens After the Meeting?

The meeting doesn’t end when the last director leaves the boardroom or disconnects from the call. There are minutes to finalise, resolutions to document and actions to follow up. BoardMeet keeps these elements

connected to the meeting record, helping the company maintain continuity from:

Meeting preparation → Meeting → Minutes → Resolutions → Action points → Follow-up
