What is the baseline? Can it be changed or removed?

The baseline destination refers to your preferred or ideal meeting location and serves as an initial reference point for comparing various metrics (such as budget, CO2 emissions, travel time, etc.) across all shortlisted destinations. While it doesn't directly affect the calculation outcomes, setting a baseline helps you evaluate other options against your preferred choice.

If you're unsure which location to use, consider selecting the venue with the highest number of attendees or, for recurring meetings, the location used in previous years.

Yes, the baseline destination can be removed.

⚠️ Note: If you remove the baseline destination, you may be expected to enter another one. On the Where to Meet tab, you will be prompted to add a baseline again if this is the case. 

To remove the baseline or any shortlisted destinations, you can follow the steps detailed in this article or this video
