Emperors Palace opens its new state-of-the-art conference facility | The Planner

On Thursday 12 March 2020, Emperors Palace launched a new state-of-the-art 20-seater conferencing and meeting venue, the Theodora Boardroom in the Convention Centre. It offers the latest conferencing technology including: two 86-inch 4K interactive LCDs, two 65 inch 4K comfort monitors, high sensitivity microphones, full surround sound, wireless and Bluetooth charging and presentation capabilities, a native HD Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) camera, and Vivitek’s NovoConnect Solution, enabling group work in an all-in-one display.

The venue has been named Theodora after an influential and powerful Roman Empress, and is the result of a R2 million investment.

Some of the benefits of the Theodora conference facility include:

  • It is fully BYOD (bring your own device) compatible, to make it easy for all guests to benefit from the full range of its facilities;
  • It caters for both onsite and remote guests;
  • Participants are able to present wirelessly from any device, whether its run on an iOS or Android operating system;
  • It is compatible with a range of online video conferencing platforms, including Skype, WebX, Zoom, BlueJeans and HangOuts;
  • Participants can annotate on top of their content in real-time with the touch screen functionality, making all the content visible to participants; and
  • All meetings are securely recorded so participants can access the audio, visual and content recordings post-meeting via a USB port.

β€œThis conference venue is regarded one of the most technologically advanced conference and meeting rooms in South Africa,” says Clive Tavener, General Manager at Emperors Palace. β€œIt connects both small and large businesses to a world of opportunity through a centralised hub that arms clients with an innovative way of conducting business. The future of conferencing is exciting, and it’s right here at Emperors Palace.”
