Create a Next-Gen Hotel Conference Experience
Is it Time to Upgrade Your Hotel AV Capabilities?
The hotel conference and meeting room market is rebounding from the pandemic's impact, with more competition than ever to schedule lucrative events. Many hotels find essential revenue opportunities with room rentals and catering; attracting a conference or trade show event can provide great opportunities in both areas.
Have you considered investing in upgrades to your hotel AV capabilities so that your conference room spaces stand out?

1. Enhanced Lighting Options
Event planners want to create an exciting and immersive conference experience that starts in the grand ballroom with a big stage, big screens, and theatrical lighting. Consider upgrading your main ballroom lighting with movement, color, and pulse options.
Spotlights and sign projectors have also become popular for showcasing company and sponsor branding throughout an event. Remember, anything you can offer to potential clients that would be unique to your space lets your hotel stand out amongst the sea of other potential venues event planners are considering.
2. Presentation Screen Options
Your hotel AV screen options should be flexible and support many requests. For example, some meetings will need the ability to manage screens independently, displaying a PowerPoint presentation on one screen and a video following the presenter live on stage on a separate screen.
Some events may want presentation screens all around the room, while others may wish for only one large screen. You may even have a request for someone to connect their content to the screen wirelessly. No matter what your presentation screen options are, ensure the room's lighting will support the visibility of the screens from all seating positions.
3. Customizable Digital Signage
Conference events require a lot of signage options. One wise investment a hotel can make is in digital signs. Digital signage locations such as hallways, outside of rooms, and in hotel entrances are a great way to attract attention to the event and encourage wayfinding for attendees. In addition, digital signs can share customized event information, company branding, sponsor recognitions, or other special messaging that improves the conference experience.
Event planners will love this cost-saving investment, so they can reduce their printed signage expenditure. They can easily utilize your hotel’s digital signage system and customize it to meet their needs.
4. Smart Controls
When you're a guest in someone's space, it may take a while to figure out how to run AV systems. But, providing presenters with an easy-to-use smart control that runs the lights, projectors, and sound from one device, will make their job much more straightforward. In addition, smart controls are intuitive to use, and presenters will have a seamless experience before their session, so your hotel AV coordinator and IT support can focus on larger issues than simply connecting a laptop.
