What is a huddle room?

• Small room typically holding 3-6 people

• Used to be an afterthought, now intentionally designed in

• Not always traditional table & chairs

• Little if any technology, so gets far less attention from IT

• Wainhouse Research estimates 30-50M

− Compared to 10M traditional conference rooms and board rooms
