IT Integrators: your guide to large meeting spaces for hybrid work

A return to the physical is causing many organisations to rethink their existing meeting spaces and whether they are fully equipped for the new era of hybrid work from home and office. Meeting rooms need additional functionality to support the hybrid working environment to ensure effective collaboration between those in the office and online participants.

This blog walks you through the equipment you need to create a large meeting space and how AV solutions from Gefen enable employees to connect, communicate and collaborate – all designed to fit specific needs and budgets. View our additional blogs on how to create medium-sized and small meeting spaces.

Large Meeting Spaces

Governing bodies, executive boards, and large teams gather in these spaces, so these groups must access all the data they need. A single sizeable main display is replaced with four displays mounted two by two, where each screen can function independently or as part of a single video wall. Additional displays mounted alongside walls allow content to be viewed from any seat at the table.

Utilising Gefen’s AV over IP technology, any AV source or workstation in the organisation can be displayed and operated from any screen, in any combination. This makes it easy for teams to collaborate and access information to make actionable decisions.
