Conference Rooms to conduct business or put forward new ideas

When holding meetings with people outside of your company you need to consider how the venue you choose will both impress them and create a calm atmosphere in which to conduct business or put forward new ideas. Here are some ideas on how that kind of atmosphere can be created:

Location

Choosing the right location is an important part of creating a happy atmosphere at the meeting when people arrive. An inconvenient or inappropriate venue will create a grumpy crowd on arrival. To make sure you create the right atmosphere, choose a venue that is easily accessible by public transport and easy to find. If the conference is longer than a day, make sure that your venue is close to hotels for attendants. If the venue is neither central nor close to hotels you may have a very unimpressed group of people on your hands. Often participation is key to a successful conference and this will only be attained in a relaxed and comfortable environment.

Size

An obvious thing to consider is how big the conference room will need to be to accommodate the amount of attendants but you also need to consider how much space you will need if you want to use a projector or white board.

Utilities

Are there enough power outlets in the conference room for all the laptops and electronics that will be used? Also find out if you need to arrange additional power extensions. Make sure to have a look at the condition of the bathrooms in the building as well as enough to cater for a large group.

Layout

Depending on whether the conference will be a sit discussion or more of a presentation gives you another option. If you are having a simple meeting to discuss things amongst each other you can go for an ordinary board room conference room with a table you can all sit around. A conference that will have speakers can be accommodated by an auditorium layout.  Ensure that the acoustics is properly tested prior to the event as squeaking speakers can ruin your event. If the people attending the conference need to take notes then rather make use of a classroom style room which offers desks for the audience.
