Abstract

This chapter focuses on the digitalisation of meetings, starting from the changes brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. The relatively rapid transformation from on-site workplace meetings to digital or hybrid meetings sheds light on some of the often taken for granted aspects of meetings. The chapter demonstrates how meetings norms were being renegotiated. Remote work, or working from home, highlighted work-life boundaries and spurred new debates around an increasingly digitalised work environment. Among other things, questions were raised about formality and meeting discipline. The chapter shows how formality in meetings was being negotiated and analyses how the digital format seems to evoke informality while simultaneously sustaining a formalisation of the meeting. Constrained possibility of on-site sociality seems to make meetings shorter and content-oriented. It is also suggested that the digitalisation of meetings may facilitate a meetingisation of organisations.
