While some pundits and tech leaders claim the internet has destroyed privacy, the need for private conversations is greater than ever in public and commercial buildings ranging from healthcare to schools and offices. In this session, you’ll learn ways to design for acoustic privacy for health-care provider/patient conversations in medical offices, supervisor/employee conversations in offices, and private offices, conference rooms, and collaboration spaces in schools and other facilities.
