Great idea, especially if you create the appropriate context and atmosphere.

When choosing this \u2018centrepiece\u2019, consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>the available space; you should have at least one and a half metres between the chairs and the walls.<\/li><li>the <strong>shape of the conference table<\/strong>: a round table offers a more intimate atmosphere and allows more participants to take part (allow for at least 10 cm between each chair), but a rectangular table can also provide a pleasant meeting space.<\/li><li>the <strong>type of table<\/strong>: choose a worktop material which doesn&#8217;t show up every coffee cup mark or fingerprint.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You might want to ensure the space is as flexible as possible so that you can use it for various activities? Then, rather than opting for one large conference table, you might be better off choosing smaller tables, depending on the situation, that can be split up or used all together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-2-features-in-your-conference-room\">2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Features in your conference room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When setting up your conference room, you should also consider the communication and auxiliary resources that you might need, such as a projector and a screen, a flip-chart, and a smartboard so that colleagues who are working at home can follow proceedings. You will also need smaller <strong>accessories<\/strong> such as holders for pens, notebooks and files. Make sure that your conference room also has a pleasant appearance using plants, <strong>atmospheric lighting<\/strong>, comfortable chairs, or other interior items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-3-your-branding-and-your-company-image\">3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Your branding and your company image<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, your ideal conference room should reflect your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativ.be\/en\/a-working-environment-that-supports-the-identity-of-the-space\/\">company&#8217;s identity<\/a>.
