About this app

“Stretch Meetings” are extended term cloud based meetings that take the place of time-draining internal work meetings and conference calls.

The typical American professional attends over 60 meetings per month (Source: Meetings in America: A study of trends, costs and attitudes toward business travel, teleconferencing, and their impact on productivity (Greenwich, CT: INFOCOMM, 1998)
Approximately 50% of meeting time is wasted (Source: Meetings in America: A study of trends, costs and attitudes toward business travel, teleconferencing, and their impact on productivity (Greenwich, CT: INFOCOMM, 1998)
39% of people attending meetings doze off during the meeting (source: CBS News).
