Do they offer wired or wireless internet, audio/visual equipment, computers for your guests or other perks? Do they have staff who will assist with technical problems that arise? What kind of chairs, tables, desks and podiums do they provide and do they provide staff to set them up? Will staff meet your conference-goers and escort them to the room? Do they provide in-house catering? At what price? What options are available for the meals?
