Boardroom

What is a boardroom?

A boardroom is a large, often formal meeting room used for board meetings, leadership meetings and important client meetings. It usually has the best equipment and setup in the building, which is why many organizations restrict who can book it and add catering or AV support to most meetings held there.

Why boardrooms need rules

Because the boardroom is the most attractive room, it is easily taken by meetings that do not need it. Restricting booking to certain people, or sending requests to a delegate for approval, keeps it available for the meetings it is meant for.

What boardroom meetings usually need

  • Catering ordered with the meeting
  • AV and video set up in advance
  • Guests expected at reception

How AskCody handles boardrooms

In Microsoft Exchange, a room can let chosen people book automatically and send other requests to a delegate who approves or declines them. AskCody adds resource groups linked to Entra ID, so only permitted people see the room, and catering, AV and visitors can be ordered in the same Outlook invite. See booking rules and policies.
