A private room for speakers, performers, or VIPs to prepare, relax, and be briefed away from the main event space.
The term 'green room' originates from theatre, where a room near the stage was historically painted green. Today it refers to any backstage or private holding area for talent and VIPs. A well-appointed green room includes seating, water and refreshments, a mirror, and Wi-Fi. Event coordinators use the green room to brief speakers individually before they go on stage, ensuring they know their cues and timing.
