As much as the world in which we do business has dramatically evolved, meetings remain the backbone of effective collaboration, decision-making, and more. Still, the traditional meeting room setup sadly now falls short when it comes to the level of convenience, efficiency and connectivity required in today’s fast-paced work environment.
And that’s where smart meeting rooms come swooping in, equipped with the latest in cutting-edge technologies and ingenious gadgetries to transform meetings as we once knew them.
Here are six cool features of a smart meeting room, and how they are revolutionizing the meeting process.
