conference room
A room in a company, hotel, or conference center that is specially equipped for meetings, conferences, conventions, or presentations.
Die Besprechung findet um 10 Uhr im großen Konferenzraum im dritten Stock statt.
The meeting will take place at 10 o'clock in the large conference room on the third floor.
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.
