I'm about to go into a meeting for the afternoon but wanted to take a second to share my thoughts on the three things required in a proper conference room:
1. WINDOWS! No meeting can or should take place in a room without windows. Casinos make use of this tactic to great effect, but your office shouldn't have to resort to sensory deprivation to get you to stay on task.
2. Round Tables: A nice egalitarian touch that says I'm no control freak. Famous adherents include the aptly named Knights of the Round Table (no head nor foot to reflect the equality of the members).
3. Coffee: Preferably at a sideboard or somewhere that makes participants get up and move a bit throughout. I think this makes the experience less funeral-like. Also, if people are getting up occasionally, it'll make it less awkward for you to get up if you have to pee during the middle of it.
