It is commonly found at large hotels and convention centers though many other establishments, including even hospitals,[1] have one.

Smoking is normally prohibited in conference halls, even when other parts of buildings permit smoking.[4]
Sometimes the term 'conference hall' is used synonymously with 'conference center' as, for example, in 'Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall'.
Some meeting rooms come equipped with booking management software, depending on the needs of the company that owns them.
