The article changes with the case; it is shown in colour.
The word is made up of 'die Konferenz' (conference) and 'der Raum' (room). The '-en-' in between is a typical linking element that connects the two nouns.
Für die Präsentation brauchen wir einen größeren Konferenzraum.
We need a larger conference room for the presentation.
Pay attention to the case after the preposition 'in'. An action inside the room requires the dative ('im Konferenzraum' - in the conference room), while movement into the room requires the accusative ('in den Konferenzraum' - into the conference room).
Wir treffen uns in fünf Minuten im Konferenzraum.
We'll meet in five minutes in the conference room.
Common verbs in connection with a conference room are 'reservieren' (to reserve), 'buchen' (to book), or 'belegen' (to occupy). It is also often said that a meeting 'stattfindet' (takes place) there.
Ich habe den Konferenzraum für morgen von 9 bis 11 Uhr gebucht.
I booked the conference room for tomorrow from 9 to 11.
