Conferencing and Collaboration Power Hour: Designing Intuitive Systems for Conference Rooms

Intuitive conference systems provide a better experience for end users and the AV team supporting these rooms. Pete Coman, Global Workplace and education Technology Specialist for PTS Consulting, spoke with Britt Yenser, Director of Event Technology at Moravian University, Jon Teetsell, Product Manager for NextGen Meeting Experience at Ernst & Young, Jenn Steinhardt, Associate AV Designer for Shen Milson & Wilke, and Lance Ford, Zoom Room Educator at Zoom to uncover best practices in aligning conference room design with client expectations.

• Identify the purpose of a meeting or event and give users guidance on which space is best suited to the needs of their meeting.
• Challenge your assumptions when developing instructions: instead of labeling a control as “Environment,” consider more direct language such as “Lights & Shades”.
• Maintain a continuous feedback loop with end users to stay ahead of changing needs for conference rooms.
