The places where participatory events take place play a key role in engaging the public. Favouring local, familiar and convivial spaces fosters a climate of trust and greater proximity with participants. In addition, organising at least one meeting in a symbolic or decision-making location can reinforce the legitimacy of the process. It is also important to set aside budgets to cover travel costs or compensate participants, in order to remove economic barriers and ensure genuine inclusion.

An alternative solution linked to this idea is holding the TCCD meetings online. Although it certainly creates a different atmosphere, it can save valuable time and money for the participants. This is especially true in the case of regional TCCD-s, because for example in the Balaton bioregion (Transdanubia), there were no cities or places that could serve as an easily accessible meeting point for all participants. By online meetings, people were able to participate from every part of the region at the same time, which enabled increased inclusivity.
