Yes, but, I will caution you, these meetings are seldom productive. Having 20 
people sit around and say the names of their favorite city is not actually a 
good use of time. I would encourage you to have a specific agenda, and action 
items. Selecting a city is *mostly* a financial decision, and requires someone 
to collect actual proposals and compare them, not just list nice places to 
visit.

Yes, I am being cynical here. It’s because I have endured 20 years of these 
meetings, and half of them devolved into shouting matches (no, I’m not 
exaggerating. Ask Shane for his stories!) and the rest were just a waste of 
time.

I would encourage you, rather than having a “share our opinions” meeting, to 
delegate specific tasks, figure out a timeline for reporting and completion of 
those tasks, and then go get a beer. The nature of this work is that you can’t 
get it done in a meeting, and attempting to do so generally leads to heightened 
emotions.
