excellent experience, thank you for sharing...
the key point is that: "make it simply and easy" with a good attitude and appreciation, when things like this happen next time.
we all experience this: a large group of SMEs gethtering for a meeting, but none recalls what the topic is about, or, what were discussed in last meeting.
that's fine, let me recap...then, re-whatever make yourself to control the meeting as planned, or even...by adding some thing to make your words remarkable.
Yes, you might lost this chance this time, but you learned as well as we do, some thing, did you?
I do.
thank you!
