It is one of modern life’s little ironies that the average meeting space is no longer a space where people meet – at least, not all of them. With hybrid working obviously here to stay, equipping meeting spaces now involves a delicate balancing act to satisfy the needs of both…
We seem to be reaching a sweet spot in the development of remote events and conferences. “Thanks to a convergence of affordable technology that delivers great results, and behaviour changes necessitated by Covid, the sky is really the limit on what’s possible,” says Stu Siegal, executive producer and creative director…
