Small Conference Venues in Utah (Under 100 People)

Small meetings are harder to place than big ones. A hotel ballroom swallows 60 people, and a conference room without natural light makes a two-day offsite feel long. The rooms below are the ones we suggest to clients planning board meetings, leadership offsites, workshops, client seminars and 100-seat talks in Utah. Capacities are the venue's published figures.

Small meetings still need good production: a sound system so the back of the room hears the speaker, a screen people can read and, more and more often, a camera and a clean audio feed for remote attendees. Fat Fish Media supplies that from our Salt Lake City shop.

• About 3,100 square feet of meeting rooms, all with natural light: Paris B seats 100 theater-style, Paris A seats 80, the Bombay Room 70 and the Tokyo boardroom 14.

What a small meeting needs

• Audio: one or two wireless microphones and speakers sized to the room. Even 40 people at the back of a long room need amplification.
• Display: a screen or monitor large enough to read slides from the last row. Hotel projectors are often dim in rooms with natural light.
• Remote attendees: a PTZ camera, a clean audio feed and someone to run the call. See our guide to hybrid and virtual event production.
• Recording: a recorded session is cheap to capture and useful for teams who could not attend.
