Whiteboard
Whiteboards are the perfect visual tool for discussion, brainstorming and highlighting important points. The board is easily erasable and you can use many different colour markers to organize your thoughts. You can easily use the board, if large enough, as a screen for your projector.

The presentation user can now use their finger or an electronic pen to control the computer. Most interactive whiteboards include USB technology, stereo speakers and wifi connection.
Presentation solutions
Sometime it’s easy to forget how important and effective presentation software can be in a meeting. Projectors are the perfect solution for presenting along with a PowerPoint presentation, an Excel document or a brand video. Owning an office projector is also useful for out-of-office sales calls and presentation, most weigh between 3 to 8 lbs. so they are easily portable.
Conference call
Investing in a conference call system for your boardroom is the best way for you to connect multiple people in various locations to your meeting.

Conference calling is the best way for you to reduce travel costs whether it be for a client or for an employee and by placing it in your boardroom, no one person’s office need be dedicated as the central call location.
