Collaborative Technologies

Younger generations of meeting attendees use technology to collaborate and stay connected than ever seen before. As attendees expect spaces and activities that foster collaboration, technology must play the role of facilitating that collaboration. In our 2019 Meeting Room of the Future survey, meeting planners reported that access to interactive and collaborative technology will be more important in the next five years. The number of operators that indicated that their venues offer collaborative technologies increased from 43% in 2017 to 63% this year. Despite the growing demand, we still find that 37% of venues do not offer any form of collaborative technologies. When it comes to offering this service for free versus for a cost, operators are equally split in their practice.
