Provide a short description of the following meeting options: face-to-face, teleconferencing, and web-conferencing with the use of web-cams.

A face-to-face meeting is an in-person meeting where all people are physically present. This could be the most difficult meeting to arrange based on the scope of the company and the employees involved, but it also will convey the most information, because body language can be read during the meeting.
Teleconferencing and web-conferencing are slowly becoming more and more similar to each other. A teleconference provides real-time two-way audio/video communication between two or more locations. It generally requires specialized equipment on both ends to be successful. That requirement is also true of a web conference. It requires a computer, internet connection, and web-cam. Something like Skype or Google Hangouts are good examples of this type of meeting and/or conference. The advantages to a video conference, regardless of format, is that people can meet that normally wouldn't be able to because of distances. The disadvantage is that non-verbal communications are more difficult to deliver and read.
