When you think “boardroom meeting”, what comes to mind? A polished conference table, leather chairs, and perhaps a projector screen? While these elements are often there during a business meeting, they don’t have to be. In fact, some of the most productive and creative meetings I’ve ever had happened far away from the traditional boardroom setting. Imagine discussing your next big project under the shimmering Northern Lights or during a hike through a dense forest. Welcome to the world of unconventional boardroom meetings.
Why Choose an Unconventional Meeting Spot?
Meeting your photographer while they’re on a photo adventure offers a unique opportunity to blend business with creativity. When you step out of the office and into a new environment, it can change the way you think, feel, and collaborate. The natural surroundings can spark inspiration, helping you see your project from a different perspective.
The Perks of Adventure Meetings
- Inspiration on the Go: Creative professionals, like photographers, thrive on visual stimuli. Meeting in a stunning location can inspire new ideas and approaches to your project.
- A Relaxed Atmosphere: Traditional boardroom settings can sometimes feel stiff or overly formal. In contrast, meeting outdoors or in an unconventional location can create a more relaxed and open dialogue. It’s easier to connect on a personal level when you’re both enjoying the environment.
- Memorable Experiences: An unconventional meeting isn’t just about getting work done—it’s about creating memories. Imagine finalizing your project details while chasing the Northern Lights on an aurora hunting trip. These are the kinds of experiences that make your collaboration stand out and leave a lasting impression.
Aurora Hunting: A Meeting Under the Northern Lights
One of the most awe-inspiring settings for an unconventional boardroom meeting is during an aurora hunting trip. Picture this: you’re bundled up against the cold, with a thermos of hot coffee (or chocolate in my case), as you and your photographer discuss your project under the dazzling display of the Northern Lights. The stunning backdrop provides a unique source of inspiration, and the excitement of the chase adds a sense of adventure to your meeting. It’s the perfect blend of business and creativity.
How to Plan Your Next Adventure Meeting
If the idea of an unconventional meeting appeals to you, here are a few tips to make it happen:
- Choose the Right Location: Consider what kind of environment will inspire both you and the photographer.It can be a serene beach, a bustling city, or the great outdoors. Make sure it aligns with the mood and goals of your project.
- Be Flexible: Outdoor meetings require a bit of flexibility. Weather conditions, lighting, and other factors can change quickly, so be prepared to adapt as needed and don’t save rush jobs for these get-togethers.
- Focus on the Experience: Remember, the goal is to create a memorable and productive experience. Embrace the adventure, and let the surroundings fuel your creativity.
BOOK YOUR MEETING!
The next time you’re planning a meeting with your photographer, think outside the box—or rather, outside the boardroom. By choosing an unconventional location, you can turn a routine discussion into a creative adventure that not only gets the job done but also leaves you feeling inspired and energized.

Tried it!
I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Yvonne Kelly-Brazell of EXP Realty during this nighttime photo adventure to Elk Island National Park. We used the opportunity to teach Yvonne more about her camera and about my business. We had a great time filled with hot cocoa, laughs, and maybe a few more bug bites than expected. I highly recommend taking advantage of our warm nights and try a northern lights business meeting.
