Making Every Part of the Conference Work Towards Your Goal

As conferences become increasingly dynamic and content-rich, traditional staging solutions often struggle to meet modern expectations.

Attendees anticipate seamless sessions. Sponsors seek measurable visibility. Organizers must adapt to changes in real time. And production teams need reliable tools that integrate effortlessly into broader event systems.

Digital furniture addresses these challenges directly. At m|events, we regard it not as an add-on, but as a core element of next-generation event infrastructure—precisely engineered, fully synchronized, and designed to elevate the entire conference experience.

What Is Digital Furniture?

Digital Furniture includes:

Digital Lecterns

An automatic display of active speakers meets a session-based branded background. Display key info or sponsors, and easily change backgrounds for each session.

Stage Cubes

A multifunctional furniture piece, ready to serve attendees and speakers. Easily note panelists names on a branded background via the front facing display--while panelists take advantage of the integrated touch display. Preview presentations, view the session program, track talk time, and engage with live polling and Q&A.

All hosts and speakers on stage are fully supported with confidence monitors, and easy access to digital notes at all times. Each component is cloud-connected and centrally managed within the m|events ecosystem, ensuring real-time updates across all rooms and venues. 

Why It Matters

Conference organizers consistently face three key challenges:

  1. Last-Minute Schedule Changes
    Printed signage cannot keep pace with real-world updates. Digital furniture ensures speaker names, topics, and branding are updated instantly, without added operational strain.

  2. Accessibility and Inclusion
    Our displays offer support for live transcription, high-contrast visual modes, and multilingual content. This fosters a more inclusive environment for diverse audiences. On stage confidence monitors are a built in part of our infrastructure, ensuring peace of mind at any spot on the stage.

  3. Sponsor Visibility and ROI
    Traditional signage often underdelivers on visibility. With digital furniture, sponsor content is dynamic, interactive, and trackable. This enables better engagement and clearer ROI for your sessions and sponsors. 

Seamless Integration, Reliable Performance

At the heart of m|events’ approach is a fully integrated platform. Digital furniture is not managed in isolation; it operates in harmony with our cloud-based presentation management, real-time scheduling, digital signage, and registration tools.

All content updates are centrally controlled, reducing the need for manual intervention or technical troubleshooting during live sessions. Additionally, our support teams and redundant system design ensure consistent performance, even in complex, multi-room conference environments.

Real-World Impact

The real-world impact of using digital furniture at your events is seen immediately. When your speakers and hosts walk into the room, they are greeted with a unique and branded experience. It feels VIP--as it should--each session that you host has an important impact in your industry.

Make speakers feel at ease with how intuitive it is to set their names at their seats, pull up their slides, or monitor Q&A, alleviating some of the nerves associated with being on stage. 

Transcend jet lag and conference hall confusion by ensuring attendees are fully informed with visuals, that key info points are highlighted, and provided with the easy to access tools they need to access live translation or session interactions such as polling via a prompt to scan a code on their phones.

Take away the stress points that come with trying to be technologically advanced when you're setting up a stage that is still meant to present slide decks, and your show will transform into an unforgettable experience. Sessions will flow, conversations will spark, and anxieties will melt away into real connection and innovation.
