Hybrid collaboration is now the default for how teams learn, work, and make critical decisions. Yet the spaces meant to support these moments are often the ones least equipped to handle today’s demands.
Despite their importance, these high-impact spaces frequently struggle with outdated or fragmented AV setups that limit engagement instead of enabling it. According to industry research, around 90% of conference rooms globally are still under-equipped for hybrid collaboration. That means most teams are trying to deliver results in environments that hold them back, not lift them up.
When the room fails, the meeting follows. Remote participants become spectators rather than contributors. Presenters get pulled away from their message to troubleshoot technology. Decision-making slows dramatically, creating costly interruptions in environments where clarity and connection are essential.
In a time when 80% of employees feel they do not have the energy to work effectively, the spaces where we gather, whether physically or virtually, must do more to support them.
What Today’s Teams Expect from High-Impact Spaces
To keep people focused, present, and productive, modern spaces must offer:
Fair and equitable visibility for every participant
Consistent experiences whether someone is in Room A or Room Z
Technology that configures itself around the type of meeting
Scalability across multi-room or multi-campus environments
Security and reliability in sensitive or regulated spaces
This requires systems that do more than connect. They must be designed to operate as one cohesive environment. That is where Crestron’s integrated ecosystem stands out.
