Or a Disney Character Team? (Works if you had children and I would giggle if I saw pooh in a meeting request)
Mickey
Pooh
Tiger
Pluto
Goofy
Donald

Restaurants or chains
Starbucks

A manager will say ... we meet tomorrow in Starbucks at 10
Next thing you know someone will drive off … LOL
(Would be funny since I know a few people that would go to the restaurant. I feel I would become hungry everything I look at my calendar. Island status here I come.)

Suggestions from one of my friends (some of you will know who this is from) (I think these are genius but I feel management wouldn't go with them. They are pretty accurate when you think of a meeting)
dungeon
cave
prison
torture room
pit of dispair
lair of neverending meetings
bog of eternal stench
hell's waiting room
room with no view
fishtank
detention
principal's office
Jail
Life’s rubix cube
Meeting of no return
Feeding time at the zoo
meeting cage match
purgatory
dark circus
blackbox (like the thing on the plane they look at after it crashes)
iron maiden
the stockade
Other suggestions
Conference Room themes suggested by team 1
Theme: Celestial (If you actually knew them or heard of them before)
Theme: World Rivers (I would get lost because I suck at geography - never really learned the capitals and hardly know all the states)
Theme: Northern California Beaches (Same issues as above)
Theme: Movie Heroes (List orginally had marvel comics combined with disney characters - I find that wrong and both should not mingle)
