Ban Frankopan conference hall

80
100m2

Looking for a meeting space that bridges the gap between small salons and massive halls? Ban Frankopan conference hall offers 100 m² with professional audio-visual equipment and excellent natural light. When you need more than a boardroom but don't require stadium seating, this space hits the sweet spot.

Right-Sized for Medium Groups

At 100 m², Ban Frankopan accommodates 40-70 people depending on configuration. It's substantial enough for department meetings, training sessions, or client presentations, but intimate enough that everyone still feels connected. You won't lose half your group in a cavernous ballroom.

Long Rectangular Layout

The dimensions of 5.84m - 7.33m x 16.72m create a long, narrow rectangle. This shape works particularly well for theater-style presentations where everyone faces forward, or classroom setups where attention focuses on one end of the room.

Professional Audio-Visual Setup

Complete Sound System

Unlike the smaller salons, Ban Frankopan includes a sound system—essential when addressing 40+ people. Clear audio ensures presentations reach everyone without shouting, and discussions remain audible throughout the space.

Multiple Display Options

Both projection screens and plasma TVs provide flexibility. Use the main screen for presentations while plasma displays show supporting content, agendas, or branding. Multiple displays mean everyone has clear sightlines regardless of seating position.

Lighting Control

Adjustable lighting supports different activities throughout your event. Bright for interactive discussions, dimmed for presentations, or ambient for networking breaks. Proper lighting management enhances both comfort and professionalism.

Excellent Natural Light

Four Windows

Four windows provide substantial natural light for a 100 m² space. Natural illumination keeps energy high during day-long sessions, reduces eye strain, and creates a more pleasant environment than artificial lighting alone. The windows prevent that closed-in conference room feeling.

All-Day Events

Natural light becomes critical during extended meetings or full-day training. The four windows help maintain participant alertness and engagement through afternoon sessions when energy typically wanes.

Premium Finishing

Carpeted Flooring

Quality carpet dampens sound and creates professional acoustics. Conversations don't echo, footsteps stay quiet, and the overall environment supports focused work rather than fighting with room noise.

Wallpapered Walls

Wallpaper adds sophistication and warmth beyond painted walls. It's a finishing touch that signals this is professional event space designed for important gatherings, not just a utilitarian meeting room.

Room Specifications

Lower Ceiling Height

The 2.05m ceiling is notably lower than the other spaces we've covered. This more intimate vertical space works fine for seated audiences but might feel cozy compared to rooms with 2.75m ceilings. Consider this if you're sensitive to ceiling height or planning activities requiring vertical clearance.

Two Access Points

Two entry/exit points handle medium-sized groups adequately. Traffic flow works smoothly for 40-70 people, though larger halls with more access points provide better flow for bigger crowds.

When Ban Frankopan Works Best

Department-Wide Meetings

When your entire department needs to gather—40-60 people—this room provides adequate space without feeling empty or oversized. Everyone fits comfortably with proper audio-visual support.

Professional Training

Training groups of 30-50 participants work well here. The sound system ensures instructors project clearly, multiple displays keep everyone oriented, and the natural light maintains energy through intensive learning sessions.

Client Presentations

Presenting to larger client groups or multiple stakeholder teams? Ban Frankopan provides professional presentation capabilities while maintaining a more intimate feel than massive conference halls.

Town Hall Meetings

Company updates, Q&A sessions, or team announcements for 40-70 people benefit from this space. The audio system ensures everyone hears clearly, and the size feels personal enough for genuine interaction.

Medium-Scale Workshops

Interactive workshops with 30-50 participants appreciate the space for movement and breakout activities while maintaining good natural light and professional audio-visual support.

Central Zagreb Location

Easy Navigation

Located in the heart of Zagreb, attendees find the venue without stress. The central position means both local participants and visiting attendees can navigate confidently using landmarks they recognize.

Surrounding Resources

Coffee shops, restaurants, and business services surround the area. Breaks and meals benefit from nearby options, and attendees can handle other business conveniently before or after your event.

Planning Your Event

Capacity Considerations

Theater style fits approximately 60-80 people, classroom setup accommodates 40-50, boardroom style works for 30-40, and U-shape fits 25-30. Discuss your expected attendance and preferred interaction style with the events team for optimal configuration.

Audio-Visual Planning

The standard equipment handles most needs, but discuss any special requirements early. Recording capabilities, live streaming, multiple microphones, or specialized displays may require additional coordination.

Catering Coordination

Events with 40-70 people often include catering. Coffee breaks, working lunches, or reception refreshments all require planning. Discuss your catering needs when booking to ensure proper setup and timing.

Making the Space Work

Leverage the Length

The long rectangular shape naturally focuses attention toward one end—perfect for presentations. Position your screen, speakers, or facilitators strategically to work with rather than against the room proportions.

Window Management

Four windows provide great natural light, but you'll need ability to control brightness during presentations. Confirm window coverings exist and work properly for your audio-visual needs.

Acoustic Awareness

The lower ceiling and carpeting create intimate acoustics. This works well for most meetings but consider it when planning events with loud elements or extensive microphone use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What's the realistic capacity for different seating arrangements?

Ban Frankopan accommodates approximately 60-80 people theater style, 40-50 classroom style, 30-40 boardroom style, and 25-30 U-shape. These estimates depend on exact furniture dimensions and required space for equipment or materials. The long rectangular shape works particularly well for forward-facing configurations. Discuss your specific needs with the events team for accurate planning.

2. Will the 2.05m ceiling feel too low for our event?

The lower ceiling creates a more intimate atmosphere compared to rooms with 2.75m+ ceilings. For seated events like presentations, training, or meetings, it's perfectly adequate. If you're planning activities requiring significant vertical space or are particularly sensitive to ceiling height, visit the room beforehand. The carpeting, wallpaper, and four windows help prevent any claustrophobic feeling.

3. How does Ban Frankopan compare to Centrum Hall?

Ban Frankopan (100 m²) is one-third the size of Centrum Hall (300 m²), making it better for medium-sized groups of 40-70 versus Centrum's 100-200+. Both have sound systems, multiple displays, and premium finishes, but the scale and feel are quite different. Choose Ban Frankopan for more intimate mid-sized events where you want professional capabilities without massive conference hall feel.

4. Are the plasma TVs in addition to the main projection screen?

Yes, the room features both projection screens and plasma TVs, providing multiple display options. This allows you to show main content on the large screen while using plasma displays for supplementary information, agendas, or branding. Multiple displays ensure good visibility from all seating areas in the rectangular space.

5. Can we get early access to test audio-visual equipment before our event?

Most venues allow some setup and testing time, but this depends on the booking schedule. When reserving the room, discuss your need for advance access to test equipment, rehearse presentations, or familiarize yourself with controls. For important presentations or unfamiliar technical setups, requesting early access or technical support is wise and usually accommodated.
