Rules for booking and using meeting rooms, pods, touchdown seats and conversation rooms in ANA Futura
There are several different meeting areas in ANA Futura. On this page, we have gathered which possibilities are offered and which rules apply to all room options.
Meeting rooms
The meeting rooms are dedicated for staff working within ANA Futura.
What applies to external users/visitors?
- Staff from outside of ANA Futura are allowed to stay in our meeting rooms, but this requires that at least one person physically localized in ANA Futura host the meeting and also participate.
- In addition to this, there are persons/groups that have an agreement with ANA Futura to use the meeting rooms and they are excluded from this rule.

Important information when booking meeting rooms!
- Meetings only
The meeting rooms should only be used for meetings, not as an office.
- Choose a meeting room based on the number of meeting participants
Choose a meeting room based on the number of estimated meeting participants. In the name of each meeting room, the number of seats available is indicated.
- Check in on the screen
Don't forget to check in on the screen when you arrive at the room (you have 10 minutes to check in from the start time), otherwise the room will be canceled and can then be booked by others in Outlook or on screen.
- Make sure the meeting room accepts your booking
When you book the meeting room, don't forget to ensure that you get an email that the room accepts your reservation. If the room declines, someone else has managed to book the room before you. Important to note is that even if the room declines, the room booking remains in your outlook calendar. The fact that the meeting room is specified in your outlook booking is not a confirmation that the room has been booked, only the email from the room guarantees that the booking is complete. The person who has received an email that the room has accepted the booking is the one who can use the room.

The meeting rooms must be nice and tidy before you leave.
