Multi locations meetings have been taking place for a long time ... but they always involve doubts or problems in the management of the protagonism between the various venues or the mode of connection. Technology has improved and there are also more experiences in this field. They have matured, and Maarten Vanneste (Abbit Meeting Innovators) introduces us to these meetings based on different locations simultaneously thanks to a new technology that allows interacting as if they were all in the same room. The central idea of ​​this format is the immediacy: sound, image and actions such as voting or co-creation.

Guess the benefits: saving time and money, possibility of having more participants (precisely because of the cost savings in travel and accommodation), shorter and more affordable meetings. And the technology that makes it possible is based on the idea of ​​standardization: rather than looking for an audiovisual supplier in each city with the compatibility problems that it supposes, Abbit has designed a pack per group that contains a high definition camera, twelve microphones, screens and a reliable connection solution. In its origin, this equipment was heavy but now it has become portable. So each group only needs a meeting room and a 4G connection (or cable). The connection system only requires two technicians, instead of the usual six or seven. In short: it allows standardizing, minimizing, professionalizing and lowering the price of the meeting.
