Lumi Global Launches Enhanced Pre-Voting Capabilities Across its Digital and Hybrid Meeting and Election Solution
LIPHOOK, United Kingdom, May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lumi Global, a leading provider of digital and hybrid meeting and election technologies, today announced the launch of enhanced Pre-Voting functionality within the Lumi Platform. This new capability allows organizations to open secure, authenticated voting ahead of live meetings, offering greater flexibility, improved accessibility, and more efficient preparation for governance-driven events. The feature is designed to support Annual General Meetings (AGMs), annual meetings, member meetings, and other regulated voting processes by enabling participants to vote days, weeks, or even months in advance. Pre-Voting can be deployed as part of a scheduled meeting or as a standalone voting session. With support for multiple-choice and text-based questions, multilingual configuration, and device-agnostic accessibility, Pre-Voting gives organizers the ability to capture early input while maintaining Lumi's high standards of security, compliance, and audit readiness. Enhanced administrative tools also allow poll grouping, drag-and-drop ordering, and comprehensive reporting, streamlining what has traditionally been a manual and time-constrained part of meeting execution. 'Organizations have made it clear: they want more control, more flexibility, and less pressure on the day of the meeting,' said Marc Harper, Chief Technology Officer at Lumi Global. 'With this release, we're responding to that need by giving our clients the ability to open up secure participation when it works for them - not just when the meeting goes live.' This latest enhancement expands Lumi's already robust voting infrastructure and reinforces its commitment to supporting inclusive, transparent, and efficient participation across digital and hybrid governance environments. About Lumi GlobalLumi Global powers the meetings and elections that matter for the world's most trusted decisions, ensuring seamless, engaging experiences for in-room and online participants.

Jamie Dimon, who famously hates meetings, explains how to run them well
Jamie Dimon said he wants to "kill meetings" because it slows work down. Dimon emphasized meetings should be purposeful, quick, and involve only the necessary people. He has criticized virtual meetings because he thinks employees are distracted with side tasks. Jamie Dimon, who has a long list of frustrations with meetings, offered a set of strategies to make them better. In his 2024 annual letter to shareholders released Monday, the JPMorgan CEO said he wants to "kill meetings" because they "slow us down." But when meetings must happen, they need to start and end on time. They should also have a leader, a purpose, and a follow-up list, Dimon wrote. He emphasized the importance of reading before a meeting — he said he does it. Dimon also recommended that employees prepare to discuss a new product in a meeting by first writing a press release. This helps them focus and identify questions that may be asked. Once in the meeting, pay attention, he said. "I see people in meetings all the time who are getting notifications and personal texts or who are reading emails," Dimon wrote. The CEO added that there is no need to include people who are not necessary. "Sometimes we think we're just being nice by inviting people to a meeting who don't have to be there. Sometimes we over-collaborate," he wrote. Dimon also repeated his long-held ire with side meetings, in which executives approach him afterward to discuss a matter they didn't want to bring up in front of others. "That's not acceptable. Don't bother. I'm not their messenger. Lay it on the table in real time," he wrote in Monday's letter. In the wide-ranging 58-page letter, Dimon dove into recent tariffs and how they will impact the US, the investment bank's performance, and leadership lessons, including mistakes he has made in his career. Dimon, who has led the bank since 2006, has repeatedly expressed his pet peeves about certain kinds of meetings and how they encourage bureaucracy. In February, in a leaked internal town hall about the importance of in-person work, Dimon aired his frustration with virtual meetings. "A lot of you were on the fucking Zoom and you were doing the following," Dimon said in the recording, "looking at your mail, sending texts to each other about what an asshole the other person is, not paying attention, not reading your stuff." Clips of the audio recording, which is filled with anecdotes and profanities defending return-to-office, gained millions of views on social media. Zoom meetings are not the only kind Dimon hates. In last year's letter to shareholders, the CEO took aim at companies' Annual General Meetings and complained that they've become places of "spiraling frivolousness" and "showcase of grandstanding" that need to be reformed. Annual meetings are required for public companies so investors can vote on the board of directors and corporate changes. These meetings range from staid company conferences to splashy events in exotic destinations. Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting draws thousands of devotees from around the world to Omaha.
