According to Charles Smith, author of “Sensory Learning Styles”, 60% of people are visual learners.  That means there is a good chance that the majority of your employees and coworkers are also visual learners.  Visual learners prefer to see how things are done rather than just talk about them.

Presentation boards in conference rooms are a great tool to help relate to your visual learners.  If you have goals or ideas that need to be communicated to your team, write them down for all to see on the presentation board.  Your team will be able to more effectively process the information you provided and stay focused on the task at hand.

Presentation boards can also be used to create story boards for your organization.  You can visually plan the coming fiscal year or next few months by posting relevant information on the bulletin board wall of the presentation board.  Presentation boards can help you see the directional path of your organization and keep you and your team focused.

Trendy new start-up companies run by Generation Yers are looking for conference furniture that is a bit more edgy. Unlike the Baby Boomers and Generation X, these folks do not want to play it safe with black leather chairs.  They want to show a bit of their personality.  After all, this generation grew up with being able to customize everything from their laptop to their phones.  Why not their furniture as well?

Instead of traditional black leather chairs, they are choosing to go with mesh.  Mesh chairs are known for their contemporary look.  Our mesh computer chairs have been a popular favorite.  The mesh computer chair is a two toned chair.  The padded seat cushion is black, however the mesh back is offered in purple, blue, green, and orange.   Companies are buying these multicolor chairs to add personality to their conference rooms instead of painting the conference room walls.

We are also noticing that this group of Gen Yers is selecting mocha and constellation java table tops over the traditional cherry and mahogany finishes.  The Mocha 12’ boat-shaped table with pre-cut grommet holes is one of our best selling conference tables.

Both the mesh computer chairs and boat-shaped conference table have some traditional lines but the materials and colors used make them more contemporary in design.  As more of Generation Y enters the work force, we can expect conference furniture to become more customizable with a variety of color and fabric options.
