A smaller room adjacent to the main event space used for workshops, smaller sessions, or private meetings.
Breakout rooms allow a large conference or event to run multiple concurrent sessions. They are commonly used for workshops, roundtables, interviews, sponsor meetings, and VIP dinners running alongside a main plenary session. Coordinating breakout rooms requires careful scheduling to ensure AV, catering, and staffing are all in place at the right times.
