Find and book a space that meets your needs
Choose a well-equipped room of the right size
Accommodate the expected audience and offer the services you require (lunch, sound system, videoconferencing, projection, etc.). If necessary, you can book another room later, if attendance is lower than expected, for example. Conversely, if the audience is larger than expected, you can offer a simultaneous video broadcast. Attendance management lets you anticipate these situations.
