Balancing Simple, Smart and Secure Collaboration

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM, Eastern Daylight Time

Hybrid work has shown that different types of meetings require different technologies. Traditional tools often fall short when it comes to hybrid brainstorming, users still lose time at the start of calls, and AI has not yet reached every meeting room. Modern meeting spaces must balance three priorities: trustworthy intelligence, user-friendly tools for both users and IT, and compliance with security standards such as NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act. In this session, attendees will explore how meeting spaces can evolve to enable simple, smart, and secure collaboration without added complexity. The session will cover best practices for fast meeting starts, reducing user friction, and supporting IT through centralized management and remote troubleshooting, as well as what “secure and reliable” means across software, hardware, and connectivity. Attendees will also explore how AI can improve user experience and operations through automated assistance, transcription, follow-up, and data-driven insights that enhance collaboration outcomes.
