What is meeting prep?

Meeting prep is prework done to make meeting discussion more productive. Typically, it involves gathering and distributing the facts as the basis of discussion. Amazon is famous for creating a writing culture around meeting prep, but most of corporate America is known for its PowerPoint decks. For some meetings, not having sufficient meeting prep means a very expensive hour is wasted.
