SharePoint meeting workspaces provide the mechanism for bringing together all the associated materials for a meeting or event in one place. The information can be shared and accessed by the attendees and any other people involved. People will always be retrieving the most current information, and email, printer, and human resource cycles can be conserved.

This chapter looks at the different ways of defining and creating workspaces from the templates that come with Windows SharePoint Services, which include a number of different meeting workspaces. The standard processes used to create workspaces from Windows SharePoint Services as well as from SharePoint Portal Server 2003 are covered, as well as the standard Web Parts that are included with each. In addition, a number of the standard tasks that enhance the functionality of workspaces are covered.
