From quick catch-ups with colleagues to pitching the next big idea in front of big clients, meeting rooms have always been hives of innovation and collaboration.
But let’s face it, some are more conducive to creativity than others.
Recently, we wrote about the must-have technology for meeting rooms in coworking spaces. But what about the simpler things…such as what to call them?
What’s in a name?
A name is a key component of identity; it can help us differentiate people, places, and things. Names allow us to speak about something uniquely and recognizably.
In the business world, they are crucial in branding. A well-chosen name can help a product or company stand out, convey its values, and build a strong reputation.
The right name can be a powerful tool for marketing and recognition.
So without further procrastination, here’s our list of 100 meeting room ideas that you can adopt or adapt for your own. We’ve even thrown in a few ideas for how you could design and fit out your meeting rooms in a thematic way!
