Polycoms may already be gone, but the meeting experience, both remote and in-person, still suffers in post-pandemic hybrid conference rooms. Poor sound quality, integration challenges, expensive 3rd party support contracts, and more need our attention. These improvements may seem like “nice-to–haves”; but they’re not! They’re “must-haves” for an equitable hybrid workforce. At Berkeley, we're building hybrid meeting experiences using low-cost A/V technology, acoustic sound-deadening hacks, meeting initiation ease, and real-time support without expensive 3rd party contracts...for under $5k per conference room!

In this session, we'll share what we've learned reimagining the hybrid conference room experience and open the floor for a rich discussion of innovative solutions to keep our dispersed workforce collaborative, thriving, and equitable.
