The most important facilities for me when I attend a conference or meeting are restaurants and open spaces like gardens or forests. I enjoy trying different kinds of food, and I also appreciate good quality. Additionally, I like trekking, so I prioritize these two things.

It's the most important for me to have wi-fi. Because it's a tool to investigate and learn during the conference

The most important things that a meeting or conference should have a really good air conditional, free wi-fi, ensure parking, refreshments, a big meeting room or conference room. That conference venue must have near the town center. So people are going easily.

Many factors are effective to hold a high quality conference. The capacity of the room, efficient air condition, smart and bright board, refreshments and also WiFi. the location is very important to ensure that people could access easily. I forgot to say that voice system is very neccessery during the meeting.
