Boom Collaboration Co-Founder Holli Hulett explores how AV technology is evolving to meet the growing demand for hybrid hospitality, remote work, and guest-centered tech solutions.
The world of AV in hospitality has expanded far beyond traditional conference rooms. Today, hotels, resorts, and boutique venues are integrating plug-and-play AV solutions across every touchpoint — from hybrid-ready meeting spaces to portable video conferencing carts for events and destination weddings.
With the rise of remote work and the "work from anywhere" movement, guests now expect seamless video conferencing and co-working experiences. Hospitality brands that embrace this shift are staying ahead of the curve.
The future is hybrid — not just in work but in life. Hotels are transforming:
Lobbies into co-working lounges
Guest suites into mini offices
Outdoor areas into livestream-ready event spaces
Some venues even offer subscription-style access to meeting zones for locals. This trend is driving demand for modular, easy-to-deploy AV solutions that adapt to changing lifestyles.
The two biggest asks?
Simplicity and reliability.
Hospitality AV setups must cater to non-technical users, from traveling executives to event planners. That’s why hotels are prioritizing:
Plug-and-play AV kits
Wireless speakerphones and cameras
Seamless multi-device compatibility
Many are also grappling with outdoor Wi-Fi limitations, especially in large resort settings. AV must work everywhere — from boardrooms to poolside.
The hospitality sector is booming but complex. Selling into a boutique hotel is vastly different than working with a global hotel chain. Integrators need:
Scalable solutions
Remote support capabilities
Custom branding options
AV also contributes directly to ROI — enabling premium bookings, rentable meeting rooms, and guest satisfaction.
Modern guests expect privacy, professionalism, and flexibility. Key desires include:
Dedicated video conferencing rooms
Quiet work pods
Reliable AV for remote meetings
Guests want to switch between leisure and business seamlessly, and AV makes it possible.
The AV in hospitality market is expanding rapidly — particularly in:
United States
United Kingdom
Asia-Pacific
Europe & Latin America (growing opportunity)
Boom Collaboration is already supporting integrators worldwide with portable AV kits, BYOD conferencing tools, and custom solutions that elevate the guest experience.
AV is no longer optional — it’s a competitive advantage. As hospitality, technology, and lifestyle continue to blend, the brands that invest in smart, flexible AV now will lead the next generation of guest-centric innovation.
