Introduction
With the rise of more and more remote work, as well as the increase in on-demand video conferencing software like Zoom and Google Hangouts, people no longer need to go into their office to have a meeting. In fact, many people don't even have "offices" anymore—they're just renting out desk space at co-working spaces, or working from home. So it's important that your conference room is up-to-date with high quality equipment and furniture that allows your team to feel comfortable while they get things done online together.
If you want to create a conference room that will impress meeting participants and please your company’s CEO, it’s time to start thinking beyond the walls. Conference room design is changing as quickly as technology, which means that designers need new design strategies to help them build efficient, innovative spaces. Here are seven ways to revolutionize your meeting space today.
Here are some ways to improve your conference room design:
High Quality Webcam
A high quality webcam is a must for any conference room. It should have a wide angle lens that can capture the whole room and multiple people, as well as a microphone that picks up audio from everyone in the room.
The camera should also be able to stream video and audio over the internet—this way it can be used by remote participants or be viewed by someone else on your team who isn’t able to attend the meeting in person. Here recommends IQMeet Conference Camera with various types, such as 1080p and 4k, PTZ and EPTZ, digital zoom and optical zoom, auto framing and voice tracking technology for your options.
It’s important that you choose one that’s easy to set up, too—you don't want your attendees wasting precious time trying to figure out how it works!
High Quality Microphones
Whether you're hosting a class, training session, or meeting in a conference room, you want your participants to be able to speak freely. That means they need microphones that can pick up their voices from anywhere in the room. In addition to high-quality sound quality and volume, an essential aspect of conference room microphones is how easy it is for users to operate them. Many people will be unfamiliar with how such devices work and may need some training before using them effectively. Additionally, if your guests are going to be using them regularly (for example if you host webinars), it's important that they're durable and reliable so they don't break down constantly or require constant maintenance.
Finally—and this may seem obvious—you'll want the best price possible when selecting electronics for your space
Speakers
● Make sure the speakers are loud enough. If you can't hear what the presenter is saying, it's likely your audience won't either.
● Make sure the sound from the speakers is clear. If there's a lot of static or feedback, it will be distracting for everyone in the room and make it difficult for them to focus on the presentation.
● Make sure that you've placed your speakers in an optimal location for your conference room design and layout, so that all attendees can hear them clearly without straining their ears or having to strain their eyes (or both).
● Don't forget about moderation! While some people may enjoy their music extremely loud, others may find themselves unable to concentrate if they can hear songs blaring from across town while they're trying to work through important tasks at hand (we're looking at you, summer interns).
You can meet all your need of the speakers on IQSoundbar. It is a must-have accessory for today’s meeting room.
Lighting
Good lighting is essential when creating a comfortable, productive conference room. You want your employees to be able to see their work clearly, but you also want them to avoid eye strain in the event that they have to spend hours at the table designing new products or working on spreadsheets. When choosing fixtures for your conference room, look for ones with adjustable light levels that can be dimmed so that the room is bright enough during daylight hours and dark enough after sunset. The fixture should also provide even illumination across all surfaces of the table and chairs so that no one in attendance feels as if they are sitting in a spotlight or hiding in shadow.
White Board
White boards are a must for any conference room. It’s a space-saving way to display notes and brainstorming ideas, which makes it easier for everyone in the room to see what’s being discussed. IQ as the interactive display suppiler offers you IQBoard Interactive Whiteboard and IQTouch Interactive Flat Panel for conference collaboration.
● Make sure your white board is large enough that you can write on it comfortably.
● Make sure it’s easy to write on. You don’t want someone struggling with an eraser while they try to take notes at a meeting!
● Make sure it erases easily, or else you may end up with an ugly smudge of ink on your wall or table when you need to erase something.
Workspace for Everyone
You need to make sure that everyone in the conference room has access to the tools they need. That means a desk and chair for each person, a computer, printer, phone and any other equipment needed.
You may be tempted to save space by putting all of this equipment on one big table in the middle of your conference room — but don't do it! While this does have some advantages (it's easier to share files between people and make impromptu presentations), it also has many disadvantages:
● It makes it difficult for people who are tall or short (see below)
● It forces everyone into an unnatural position — you should always sit with your feet flat on the floor if possible
● It doesn't promote "collaboration" as much as it could because no one feels like they can spread out
A Variety of Seating Options
If you're looking for a way to make sure that your conference room is meeting the needs of all types of meetings, then it's important that you make sure that you have at least two different seating options. If one person in particular needs a more formal setting, then they can use the larger table and chairs while everyone else sits on more casual seating. If someone else has something more informal scheduled, they don't need to worry about being uncomfortable in their seat because there are other options available. This will help ensure that every person feels comfortable attending your meetings and this should result in better attendance rates overall!
Your conference room should be well stocked with the best equipment and furniture.
There’s a lot to think about when creating an effective conference room, but don’t forget the basics. When you first start planning your space, it's important to think about what kind of furniture and equipment you need in the room. Your conference room should be well stocked with the best equipment and furniture.
● A variety of seating options—if you have a small team that meets frequently, consider purchasing or renting a large table that can seat everyone comfortably together when necessary. If your business grows over time or if you have multiple teams working in separate rooms but sharing information regularly (or even just occasionally), consider having separate tables available so that people aren't stuck sitting across from one another during every meeting.
● Good lighting—this is especially important for those who work remotely over video calls because bad camera angles make it difficult for others to focus on their faces properly. Bright lights can help cut through this problem by providing enough light for everyone involved in an interaction (both people speaking as well as those listening). There are many types of lighting solutions out there; however, we recommend keeping things simple by using task lamps instead of overhead ones since these provide direct illumination where needed without casting shadows around corners or onto walls behind them like fluorescent bulbs would tend do over longer distances such as those found inside conference rooms where computer screens may show up less clearly than usual due to glare caused by overhead surfaces reflecting off glass panes beneath them--which makes sense because they're actually made out rubber material rather than glass itself--which helps keep them clean longer than traditional dry-erase boards without requiring
