The Importance of Room Design to Optimise AV Upgrades
Mar 28, 2024 Season 2 Episode 2
David Allara & Jonathan Cuthbertson

Greg Jeffreys is an expert on room design standards, displays, lighting, meeting and teaching spaces, and Microsoft Teams Rooms. He joins David and Jonathan on this episode of The Tech Simple podcast, which is so rich in nuggets of gold that we had to split the recording across two parts! 

In Part 1 we learn about Greg's approach to design, which very much starts with the end users and the experience that needs to be created for them. He talks through his process and shares why technology is not always the answer – it is only a part of the overall solution and experience. 

Greg also notes the hangover that still lingers from the global pandemic. At that time there was a rush to get technology solutions up and running as quickly as possible. Complying with standards and good practice design went out the window. Four years on we still see this approach to AV technology and meeting space design in many cases and we discuss why that is as well as the detrimental implications. 

We pick Greg's brain on the AV technology and trends he is most impressed with at the moment, and you may find his responses quite surprising. Enjoy the show and remember to look out for Part 2 to listen to the entire conversation.
