A good conference room should be equipped with power sockets for laptop, tablet and smartphone use. Wi-fi, Ethernet cables, or fixed-line internet access should also be readily available, alongside presenting facilities such as whiteboards, screens and projecting equipment. This, alongside adequate floor space, effective levels of light and central heating/air conditioning are essential for a professional conference room.

For full package details please refer to our brochure.
What size conference room do I require?

There are several conference rooms here at OEC Sheffield to choose from, the largest of which can hold up to 500 delegates!

What is the difference between a meeting room and a conference room?
The main difference between a meeting room and a conference room is that typically speaking, meeting rooms are smaller in size and capacity. Conference rooms are best utilised for video conferencing, as well as presentations that require a moderate amount of space.
Is venue selection important when arranging a meeting?
Though often overlooked, selecting the right venue for your conference is essential. The venue you select to host your conferences says reams about your business, and how you wish to be represented. For effective and professional conferences, contact OEC Sheffield for more information.
