Refreshment when attendees feel tired they need refresh by eating foods or drinking something
The facilities that are most important for me when I go to a conference or meeting are:
What facilities are most important for you when you go to a conference or meeting? Why?
In my opinion, The most important facilities in the conference room are:
If I assist to a conference, the most important things for me are that there were comfortable seats, good audio and a good view to the exponent's presentation. If the conference will be long, to get some refreshments is no bad.
I was wondering why "theater" should be categorized in "room types" instead of "facilities"?
Hello CM Sung,
It's a fair question - I think you could put it in either category. However, the context suggests 'room' as it is described as 'for 1000 people'.

What facilities are most important for you when you go to a conference or meeting? Why?
For conference or meeting the most important facilities need to have Wi-Fi because everyone need to do presentation so some important information they can explain with the help of internet. Another important facility is refereshment. When visitors are tired they can refresh their self by eating food or use drinks. The conference or meeting area should be easy accessable to Airport or Motorway to reach easily and on time.
The most important facilities when I go to a conference or meeting are free Wi-Fi, secure parking and all day refreshments.
Free Wi-Fi because in some breaks I need to see my emails and do some work activities.
Secure parking to ensure my vehicle on a secure place.
All day refreshments because I need to eat and drink to maintain my concentration on the conference or meeting.
PS. I am really enjoying the lessons. I need to improve my reading skills because sometimes I need to do the presentations for my headquarters.
