What to Consider When Choosing a Meeting Room
A professional meeting delivers far more effective results when it takes place in the right environment. Whether it's a client presentation, team meeting, or training seminar — your meeting room choice directly impacts your business outcomes.
1. Capacity and Seating Layout
How many people will attend your meeting? The answer determines your room size:
- 2–6 people: small meeting room with boardroom layout
- 6–20 people: medium room with boardroom or U-shape layout
- 20–50 people: large hall with classroom or theater layout
- 50–100 people: conference hall with theater layout
Ensuring adequate space for each participant is important for both comfort and productivity.
2. Technical Equipment and Infrastructure
Essential equipment for a modern meeting room:
- Projector or LCD screen for presentations and visual sharing
- Video conferencing system for remote participants
- Minimum 1 Gbps fiber internet connection
- Sound insulation for confidential meetings and sensitive discussions
- Whiteboard for brainstorming sessions
3. Location and Transportation
Your meeting room location should ensure easy access for all participants:
- Proximity to metro and metrobus lines
- Parking availability
- Located in the central business district
GBC meeting rooms are situated in easily accessible central locations like Levent and Taksim.
4. Catering and Service
Catering service makes a difference in professional meetings:
- Basic refreshments like tea, coffee, and water
- Full catering service for longer meetings
- Break areas
5. Flexible Rental Options
Choose different rental models based on your needs. Hourly rental works well for short meetings, half-day booking for training and workshops, and full-day rental for seminars and corporate events.
