Zach Valigura, Senior Vice President Delivery at FORTÉ

Zach Valigura

Senior Vice President, Delivery, FORTÉ

Zach built the Velocity Logistics Centre and the program management behind it. He explains how a room becomes a repeatable product, and what that changes for your rollout.

Martin Zimmer, Microsoft

Martin Zimmer

Distribution Lead EMEA & Country Manager DACH, Microsoft
AI-Powered Workplace Program · Teams, Devices & Premium Experiences

Martin leads the Teams and Devices business across the DACH region. He gives the Microsoft view on where meeting room technology is heading, and what to standardize on now.

The afternoon

A working floor,
not a showroom.

01

Walk the working floor

See it while it is working: staging, configuration, testing, packing, shipping. We explain any system in detail whenever you ask.

02

Live demos: Teams Rooms & Velocity

Configured rooms you use yourself, from joining a call to managing the estate.

03

Keynotes from FORTÉ and Microsoft

Two keynotes: FORTÉ on how a room becomes a product, Microsoft on where the meeting room is heading.

04

Lunch, networking and drinks

We start with lunch together and close with drinks, so there is plenty of time with the FORTÉ team and with your peers from the region.

The rooms

One standard,
every room size.

Same components, same configuration, same test protocol, whatever the room size. Several of these configurations will be running on the day.

Velocity huddle room with four seats and a single display

Huddle room
Four seats, one display, one touch controller.
Velocity medium meeting room with a single display and table controller

Medium meeting room
Six to eight seats, the most requested configuration.
Velocity boardroom with a light wood table and ten seats

Boardroom
Ten seats with table microphones and camera framing.
Velocity conference room with dual displays and a table microphone

Large room, dual display
Content on one screen, the room on the other.
Colleagues on a hybrid call in a Velocity room

In use
A hybrid call from a standard room, joined in one tap.
Velocity demo room with a wall display, ready to hand over

Ready to hand over
Tested, labelled and packed before it leaves the building.

Velocity in one number
550+

standardized training rooms delivered for a global retailer: sourced, built, tested and shipped through the Velocity Logistics Centre. The fifth room and the five hundredth arrive the same way.

Why it matters

One building between
your standard and your sites.

Built and tested in full

Every system is assembled and signed off here before it leaves the building.

Packed ready to install

Site teams fit rooms instead of building them, so installation days stay short.

The same at any scale

From a single room to a European rollout, the same process every time.

In partnership with

Microsoft

Velocity supports Microsoft Express Installs, one of the topics both keynotes pick up on the day.
