Dedicated boardrooms and meeting rooms are now being replaced with less formal and smaller “Huddle Spaces”. These spaces can be separate rooms, but are often just an area in an open plan office, or even in a reception area.

These Huddle spaces need to be simple to use while offering all the functionality of the more formal spaces. Huddle Spaces should cater for many different types of meetings from simple presentations to full brain storming using interactive displays and full collaboration. They should also cater for remote participation where delegates can participate via their own devices including smart phones and tablets. This participation should cater for text, voice, video or all of these. It should also cater for the sharing and collaboration of presentations, documents and spreadsheets.
