Confirm bandwidth (minimum 100 Mbps symmetric, dedicated line for >12 people).
Ask for camera + mic spec: Poly Studio X70, Neat Board, or Logi Rally Bar are the current bar.
Zoom Rooms and Teams Rooms native support, not screen-share workarounds.
Confirm HDMI + USB-C hardline; wireless-only is a red flag for exec meetings.
Ask about second-screen or annotation display for hybrid presentations.
Verify a live tech contact on-site during the meeting window.
F&B: coffee service refresh cadence, dietary accommodation lead time.
Reception protocol: guest list, badging, escort requirements.
Cancellation: 48-hour is standard, 24-hour is negotiable at volume.
Overage policy: hourly extension rate and hard-stop rules.
Privacy: NDAs on staff, sound-masking, no-camera zones.
Invoice format: PO, VAT, and cost-center coding your finance team can post.

The best meeting-room bookings are boring: the tech works, the coffee arrives, the door closes on time. Everything above is how you make it boring on purpose.
