No matter what industry a business may be engaged in, nothing can substitute for a face-to-face meeting with clients in a professional setting. For a business that conducts most of its work online- such as start ups and home-based businesses- having a permanent venue to conduct meetings is simply not cost-effective. A more practical alternative would be to rent a meeting room in a convenient location for the duration of a meeting. From a business perspective, this makes a lot of sense.
Many executive suites located in major urban centers now offer their clients the use of meeting rooms which can be rented for an hourly, daily, or monthly basis. These meeting rooms are professional environments that are equipped with all the standard equipment that will enable businesses to close deals successfully with their clients. Modern meeting rooms need to be equipped with the requisite multi-media and telecommunication systems that keep correspondents connected even if all participants are not located in the same meeting room.
Many of the best meeting rooms offered by executive suites have professionally decorated interiors with all the required furniture such as conference tables, smaller tables for snacks and beverages, as well as comfortable chairs. Appropriate space should be provided for the AV (i.e. the screen, projectors and tech tables) which should take up about 15% of the room.
Businesses that are hosting the meeting should ensure that the Washington DC meeting rooms are large enough to accommodate all participants: There should be enough chairs and allocated space at the conference table for all participants. Moreover, in today's high tech environment, the appropriate video conferencing equipment must be provided to enable participants outside the meeting room to take part in the discussion.
Utilizing the appropriate videoconferencing equipment benefits business hosts and clients as travel expenses are reduced for participants unable to attend the meeting personally. Furthermore, because the executive suite provides the Washington DC meeting rooms with the videoconferencing equipment, business owners save money by not having to purchase the equipment outright.
Technicians should be there to provide technical assistance throughout the meeting to ensure a smooth presentation to clients. In addition, the Washington DC meeting rooms should be equipped with other amenities such as high speed wireless Internet, speaker phones, white boards, and business machines such as color copiers, printers, and scanners.

Good to know about these executive suite meeting rooms! Thank you very much for sharing all details here. At a Seattle convention center, I too hosted a business event for first time last month and had a wonderful experience. Will love to book this venue for future events too.
