Dr. Data further revealed that 60 percent of the meetings are held by a group of two to four people, 25 percent of the conferences witness a gathering of four to 10 people, while 15 percent the conference has the participation of 10 or more people. “The ease of arranging the conferences have made people utilize the facilities more. Earlier, the meetings of smaller groups used to take place over conference calls where the absence of physical aspect used to hamper the smooth flow of the meeting; but now, with the facility of virtual video conferences, the outcome of these meetings, including 100+ people meetings, is also turning out to be fruitful”, explained Dr. Data.
