The Audio-Visual Edge: Conference Room Solutions for Modern New York
The conference room is supposed to be a place where business-minded people come together to share ideas, solve problems, and collaborate. Unfortunately, most conference rooms in the New York City area aren’t designed to satisfy those expectations – in fact, they’re doing more harm than good at this point.
A lot of the conference rooms I step into look like they came straight out of the 1990s. I can picture it now – an old whiteboard with marks and stains on it, those uncomfortable chairs that look like they came from a library, and an old tape recorder sitting next to a corded landline phone. It doesn’t sound very inviting.
Don’t you think your NYC business deserves better? Just think about all the time your employees, clients, partners, and board members spend in the conference room – don’t you want them to be more motivated, productive, and efficient in those meetings? Well, they could be with a little touch of modern technology!
Look at all this incredible and innovative technology we have today – it’s everywhere! You use it inside your home, it’s used in the places you frequent, and it’s used by others all around the world – so why wouldn’t you want to introduce it to your conference room? I mean, come on – it makes perfect sense!
If you’re struggling to see what all the hype is about, here are some of the ways our audio and visual solutions can enhance and improve your conference room:
It doesn’t matter if you’re having an in-person meeting with your managers, a video conference call with remote employees, a presentation with a new client, or a group training session with new recruits – your conference room needs to promote interaction, collaboration, teamwork, engagement, and community.
Conference rooms come in different shapes, sizes, and functions. Some are designed for smaller groups (such as 1-on-1s and groups of 4), while others are tailored for larger groups (anywhere from 6 to 12+ people). Understanding the room’s style and function is crucial to selecting the proper AV solutions.
Let’s take a look at the three most popular types of conference rooms and what they’re generally used for:
At PSE Audio Visual, we work directly with each client to ensure their conference room – whether it’s a huddle room, team room, or boardroom – is equipped with all the best technologies and solutions. From the planning stage to the installation and ongoing monitoring stage, we’re with you every step of the way!
When it’s time for a business meeting, you don’t want to be fumbling around with cords or struggling to maintain a solid connection – that’s actually the last thing you want. It won’t leave a good impression on those you’re meeting with and could, in fact, be the difference between success and disappointment.
No one likes disappointment – that’s why we suggest modernizing your conference room with innovative technology. With so many unique audio, visual, and administrative solutions available to business owners today, there’s nothing your conference room can’t do. Here are just some of the top AV solutions we offer:
From LCD panels to LED video walls, interactive displays, and touchscreen tablets – displays play an important role in helping team members convey information in a captivating way. At PSE, we suggest using screens with high resolutions, wide viewing angles, and vibrant colors to ensure a clear picture.
Clear visuals are important, but so is clear audio. With quality speakers and microphones, you won’t have to worry about team members or potential clients being unable to hear you (or vice versa). There will be less, “I’m sorry, can you repeat that?” and more, “That sounds great, I’ll get started on that right away.”
High-quality video conferencing cameras are mandatory if you meet with distant clients and/or remote employees. Cameras also come in handy when recording important meetings – to send to those who missed the meeting or to retain for future use. Either way, a good camera goes a long way!
Let’s trade in that old, dirty, stained whiteboard from 1982 with a sleek, interactive, and tech-infused whiteboard – trust us, you won’t regret it. Not only can you use it like a standard whiteboard, but some interactive whiteboards have touchscreen capabilities and the ability to share the screen with others.
Last, but certainly not least, is the one piece of technology that brings everything together – the control panel. This usually comes in tablet form and allows you to control everything about your conference room – from the displays, speakers, microphones, lighting, whiteboards, cameras, and other vital features.
Are you finding your employees nodding off during your meetings? Are your clients unimpressed with your conference room or video conferencing capabilities? Does your conference room do more harm than good? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of those questions, then PSE Audio Visual wants to meet with you!
