Visioning the Meeting Room of the Future

1 Clock Hour | Domain G: Meeting or Event Design

The way people interact has changed a lot in the last few years. This includes participants' interactions at meetings and events. Consider findings from recent global research from the International Association of Conference Centres into meeting surroundings—not only the rooms themselves, but also the spaces where delegates congregate, network and socialize. Understand how the meeting space affects learning and networking, and ultimately the goals and objectives of your meetings and events.

Learner Outcomes:

• Learn how different meeting rooms support learning outcomes and help maximize meeting ROI.
• Develop a better understanding of how technology can help build multi-way communication in the room and for virtual participants.
• Consider the different venue types and non-traditional room layouts that help foster connections between and among delegates.
