Location factors --- Good points and examples, Marwa and Cara. I've seen these issues frequently. Another thing I'd say about location is your ability (especially but not only if you're the host) to decide on the time when coffee or such breaks are provided, the quality of the refreshments, the availability of bathrooms and the like. These matters, if well handled, can dispose other people towards your objectives quite well. If not well handled they will often have a negative impact on what you want.
