How Can You Set Up Modular Tables?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Think about the last time you were in a meeting. Were you tripping over a mess of cords leading to a central table? Did you have to strain your neck while turning to face the presenter? Did technology issues interrupt your focus? If so, you\u2019re like most employees who are struggling to make the most of outdated meeting spaces.<\/p>\n

Your meeting space should enhance connection and focus, not work against it. Ergonomic conference tables<\/a> with integrated power and data make it easy for your team to:
    \u25cf Connect face-to-face and with remote teams
    \u25cf Share ideas in real-time
    \u25cf Stay focused on projects, not technology issues<\/p>\n

SMARTdesks began the journey of building tables integrated with technology in 1997. Today, the need for tech-enabled collaborative spaces has never been more urgent. As technology evolves in a post-Covid time, so must the spaces where people use it. This is especially important, considering how prevalent hybrid meetings are, and that:
    \u25cf Up to 90%<\/a> of companies will need to conduct hybrid meetings
    \u25cf 49%<\/a> of college students prefer hybrid courses compared to only in-person instruction.<\/p>\n

Meeting spaces must keep up with the way people interact.<\/p>\n

With SMART modular conference tables<\/a>, you can use the same space to accommodate shifting needs\u2014without sacrificing access to the power and data that today\u2019s meetings need to function. This article will cover the different uses of SMART modular conference tables.<\/p>\n

What Are SMART Modular Conference Tables?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Modular conference tables are tables that you can disconnect, rearrange, and set up in different configurations within your meeting space. SMART modular conference tables include the added benefit of built-in technology that enables:
   \u25cf Presentations
   \u25cf Hybrid meetings
   \u25cf Collaboration using digital tools<\/p>\n

SMART modular tables often include some or all of the following technology:
   \u25cf Power ports and strips so your team doesn\u2019t have to trip over wires or search for a power connection
   \u25cf Data units that make connectivity easy, such as connecting to a monitor through an HDMI port
   \u25cf Integrated monitors for quick computer access<\/p>\n

Which Spaces Are SMART Modular Tables Best In?<\/b><\/h2>\n

SMART modular tables can make professional and educational spaces more productive and engaging. To see how they can transform your space, let\u2019s take a look at an example of a SMART modular table, its features, and how you can set it up in your space.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Motif Computer Conference Modules Featuring flipIT<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Motif Computer Conference Modules Featuring flipIT<\/a> offers customizable arrangements and high-tech utility. Organizational and SMART features include:
   \u25cf Monitors that flip up and fold down for on-demand access and easy storage
   \u25cf Access points for data and power along the entirety of the table spine
   \u25cf Hidden compartments to keep wires and cables out of view and protected from damage
   \u25cf Keyboard platforms that slide out to cut clutter
   \u25cf Locking keyboards to improve equipment and data security
   \u25cf CPU bays to accommodate tower CPU cases up to 10 inches wide<\/p>\n

You can arrange this SMART modular conference table in a variety of configurations, including: U-shape, face-to-face, and open-ended arrangements.<\/p>\n

Conference Rooms<\/b><\/h3>\n

Businesses use conference rooms for teams to work together on important projects, give presentations to employees, or pitch ideas to external stakeholders. The last thing you want is for technology issues to hold things up and distract your audience. The room\u2019s layout can also be disruptive and take away from your presenter.<\/p>\n

For a collaborative workspace, a face-to-face arrangement encourages communication and sharing notes. During hybrid meetings, a U-shaped configuration allows each in-person member to easily view the monitor where remote attendees are tuning in from and vice versa.<\/p>\n

A U-shaped arrangement is also ideal for presentations, where attendees focus on one spot for the majority of the meeting.<\/p>\n

Smart Offices<\/b><\/h3>\n

Employees perform their best when they have access to the right tools. Balancing the needs of 100% in-person employees with hybrid employees can get challenging. SMART modular tables make it easier for your team to be productive, no matter how they work best.<\/p>\n

For office spaces, face-to-face configurations give flexibility in where and how employees set up their workspace. This makes it easier for your team to transition between independent and team projects.<\/p>\n

Complete your smart office with SMART modular tables and standing desks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Learning Spaces<\/b><\/h3>\n

Classrooms see a lot of layout changes. Some classes benefit from setting up desks in rows that all face the same direction (open-ended). Others prefer having each student facing the center of the room (U-shaped). And still, others work best when students sit in small clusters (face-to-face). Each of these situations need a connection to both power and data. That’s what SMART modular tables provide along with the ability to rearrange the classroom as needed.<\/p>\n
