Indianapolis, IN 21 July 2011 – University Place Conference Center & Hotel is proud to announce the availability of a Cisco Telepresence Room, located on the 2^nd floor of the Hotel. The Telepresence room provides dedicated high-end videoconferencing. The service was designed to replicate face-to-face communication and eliminate the cost and time of long distance travel.

The service improves on the traditional videoconferencing experience through its use of high definition cameras, eye-tracking features and directional microphones. This system also allows participants to share documents and presentations during the meeting.

The Telepresence capability also supports the facility’s green initiatives by reducing or eliminating the need to travel. It facilitates a 'greener' environment by reducing the carbon footprint. The service is complimentary to IUPUI faculty and staff and is open now, but is subject to availability. The room holds up to 12 people. Interested parties outside of the IUPUI Campus should contact the Conference Sales Department for pricing and scheduling times. For more information call 317.274.3196.
