I have to give a weekly meeting and have to cover the same information every week.
What can I do to make this meeting more fun?
It however still needs to stay professional...

Change the order of the presentation, like go backwards or start at the middle and work out. Find alliterations and alternate phrasings. Do a normal one or two, then spice up the second or third. Periodically call on someone to guess a name or number, sometimes someone who knows, sometimes someone not related to that particular information. Most importantly, screw up some personal energy and a smile and plunge, not plod, into it.

I think it would all depend upon the type of company.
Could you make a "game" out of the information you present, give a pen or a small gift certificate for the winner.
Or play music on a CD player during your presentation and have someone stop the music, then someone must present a new idea, musical ideas kind of game.
The food idea is good, but I have seen meetings that get out of hand because the people are more interested in conversing near the food table than they are the meeting.
This is a tough question, good luck making your meetings interesting and fun.

Provide food. If in the morning some bagels, croissants, butter, cream cheese, juice, fruit, coffee, order in box lunches for a lunchtime meeting, assorted cheeses, fancy crackers, breads, fruit, cakes for an afternoon meeting.
Food always puts everyone in a good happy mood.

Try a contest. Offer $5, $10 or such for correct answers. People love money and they learn and have fun in that atmopshere. If not money freebies (T-shirt, pen, whatever)

Ask your audience for feedback.I do this regularly when I conduct meetings.
A simple question.
How can "WE" make this meeting more effective?
Ensure you are putting enthusiasm into your presentation.

Buy koala bears and give them to each person to hold and pet while you are giving your presentation. Koala bears are super fun!

Delegate. It's a simplistic answer but why not mix it up a little?
