Perform a quick search on Google for ‘conference rooms’ and the results will often be a long list of meeting rooms instead. Search engines often can’t tell the difference and, if you’re new to the meetings and events industry, you might not be sure, either. So, with that in mind, we thought we’d explain the key differences:   Size - Conference rooms tend to be spacious to accommodate large gatherings with space to network whereas meeting rooms are designed for smaller groups who want to collaborate or brainstorm together. Furniture - Comfortable chairs and a table are usually commonplace in a meeting room whereas in a conference space attendees often stand so that they can mingle easily. Tech and AV - Conference spaces tend to have high-definition digital display multi-screens, projectors and audio equipment all built-in whereas meeting rooms tend to be more basic (although at etc.venues even our meeting rooms have built-in screens and projectors!). These are just top-line differences. If you’d like to know more, get in touch.
