Use of multiple displays
10% of newly-fitted meeting rooms have both a projector and a panel
One of the current trends is the use of multiple displays which increasingly enables different video sources (multiple desktops, video conference with data, two presentations, internet with documents, etc.)
20% of the meeting rooms with a capacity of over 16 people have more than one panel
There are a number of ways to achieve this, ranging from using several different devices – monitor/monitor, projector/ monitor – to software solutions that divide content in a single display.
An important trend is interaction in meetings using your own device, whether a tablet, mobile or laptop, from the same meeting room or a remote location.

Interactivity is another key factor in meeting rooms today. The interactive whiteboard was the first product to provide companies with this type of functionality. Despite the introduction of this technology, it has not been widely adopted within corporate markets. This is due to the effort required to learn the equipment and the necessary installation – as well as the fact that the software is heavily focused on the education sector and is harder to integrate into a business context.
Interactive projectors have been more successful in this market and companies such as Epson supply projectors specifically for businesses.
However, the product that will be adopted the quickest and on the widest scale will undoubtedly be the interactive screen. Easy to learn, as it is basically a large screen tablet and with offerings from trusted brands such as LG, Microsoft, NEC, Promethean, Samsung, Sony, etc. and the increasingly affordable upfront and installation cost, this type of solution is perfect for those meeting room formats which will become increasingly popular in the coming years.
4< MEETING & COLLABORATION SOLUTIONS. THE MAVERICK GUIDE
The latest studies from Futursource show that in the EMEA region, one million more meeting rooms have been created, amounting to an increase of about 8%.
Notably, there is a move away from large meeting rooms with high-end equipment, where one person makes a presentation to the rest. Instead, smaller rooms (1-5 people), which are more dynamic and allow the collaboration and participation of everyone present are being favoured. This room type, and also the slightly-larger 6-15 person meeting room, will see the biggest growth in the next few years with expected increases of 11% and 8% respectively.
It is essential to establish the most suitable solution for each situation and the opportunity for systems integrators is to fit these rooms with more audiovisual equipment.
