“Although the number of participants registered is the same when compared to other years, the number of quality office designs predominate compared to previous years and we have noted the trend of increasing standards of Czech offices. That’s why the jury selected a record number of companies for the final round - 37," says Petra Lávičková, Head of Marketing & PR CBRE, the organizer of the CBRE Meeting Room of the Year.

“There is a clear trend among most businesses where they increasingly focus on their employees when outfitting offices. The comfort of the people themselves is a priority for them, so they can work best and feel good at work. This is the most valuable bonus for the companies themselves, though they must sometimes make concessions on the question of office design," says Eva Jiřičná, the world-renowned architect and chairwoman of CBRE Meeting Room of the Year.
