Advanced Boardroom AV Design Principles is a comprehensive and practical course designed to empower AV professionals to create high-performance, future-ready meeting spaces. As boardrooms continue to evolve into technology-driven environments that support hybrid collaboration, seamless connectivity, and exceptional user experiences, this course provides the essential knowledge and tools to meet those demands with confidence.

Designed for AV consultants, system integrators, and design engineers, this intermediate-level program is ideal for professionals with a foundational understanding of AV systems, including displays, signal flow, and conferencing technologies. Delivered over an intensive 2-hour instructor-led session, the course blends expert presentations with real-world case studies, demonstrations, and assessment. The result is a focused and engaging learning experience that connects theory with practical application.

Throughout the course, participants will develop the ability to design optimized boardroom environments using Arthur Holm solutions. Key learning outcomes include selecting the right table monitor configurations based on resolution and viewing conditions, specifying reliable and user-friendly BYOD connectivity, integrating microphones and audio systems into furniture, and implementing efficient control and automation strategies. In addition, participants will gain hands-on insight into advanced technologies such as DynamicTalk, DynamicSpeaker, and DynamicShare, as well as the principles behind modern hybrid meeting room design.

The course begins with Boardroom Display Design, where participants explore how visual performance directly impacts meeting effectiveness. Topics include pixel density versus human vision, viewing distance calculations, and the trade-offs between Full HD and 4K resolutions. Practical considerations such as heat management, cabling, and table integration are also addressed. Participants will learn how to design cohesive systems that integrate retractable table monitors with large-format displays, ensuring a consistent and high-quality visual experience across the room.

Next, Workspace Connectivity focuses on the growing complexity of user devices in meeting environments. With laptops, tablets, and smartphones all playing a role, designing flexible and intuitive connectivity systems is essential. Participants will compare HDMI and USB-C technologies,and explore how these apply across different room types—from huddle spaces to executive boardrooms. Emphasis is placed on cable management, scalability, and future-proofing, enabling participants to design systems that are both robust and adaptable.

In Microphones and Audio Conferencing, the course addresses the critical role of audio clarity in effective communication. Participants will explore the integration of DynamicTalk Standard and DynamicTalk Conference systems, learning how to balance visibility and discreet design while ensuring optimal audio pickup. This module provides practical guidance on integrating microphone solutions into furniture and selecting the right approach for different meeting scenarios.

The DynamicSpeaker Technology module introduces a new approach to meeting room audio through proximity-based sound and integrated DSP processing. Participants will learn how this technology enhances speech intelligibility, reduces background noise, and simplifies system design. Key concepts such as electroacoustic principles, motorisation benefits, and integration with conferencing platforms are covered, supported by comparative examples that highlight the advantages over traditional ceiling speaker systems.

Collaboration is a central theme in DynamicShare Systems, where participants learn how to design intuitive and secure content-sharing workflows. The module explores system architecture, product configurations, performance considerations, and security aspects, ensuring that shared content remains both accessible and protected. Practical exercises help participants understand signal flow and develop efficient collaboration environments tailored to modern meeting needs.

The Control and Integration module focuses on simplifying the management of complex AV systems. Participants will learn strategies for reducing setup complexity, improving reliability, and integrating Arthur Holm products with industry-standard control platforms such as Q-Sys, Crestron, Extron and AMX. The goal is to enable efficient system operation while maintaining flexibility and scalability.

Finally, Hybrid Meeting Room Architecture brings all concepts together by addressing the shift toward hybrid collaboration. Participants will examine how meeting spaces are being redesigned to support both in-room and remote participants equally. The module introduces Arthur Holm’s approach to hybrid environments, including embedded computing platforms and integrated connectivity solutions. A final design exercise allows participants to apply their knowledge in a complete, end-to-end scenario.

By the end of the course, participants will have a clear understanding of how to design boardrooms that are not only technically advanced but also intuitive, efficient, and aligned with modern workplace expectations. Advanced Boardroom AV Design Principles is a valuable opportunity to refine your expertise, stay ahead of industry trends, and deliver smarter AV solutions with confidence.
