What are the Types of Conference Tables You Should Invest In?
Conference tables are the gathering places for ideation sessions, decision making discussions, hybrid presentations, interviews, and much more. However, conference tables that are worth the investment offer more than a place to sit.
That’s why SMARTdesks decided to go beyond the basics and take a deeper look into the capabilities of a conference table—especially when it comes to integrating technology. We believe that thoughtfully designed conference tables enhance the productivity of any meeting.
We understand that modern organizations need more than a wood conference table with power outlets. Our bespoke products seamlessly integrate computers, technology, power and data, designed for a specific space. Each conference table is custom built on a per order basis. If you need a 10 person conference table, a small conference table, or something else entirely, SMARTdesks will fabricate the perfect conference table.
Here are a few examples of our revolutionary conference table products and how they are used in conference rooms.
