conferentiepunt

Conferentiepunt is a Dutch term that literally means "conference point." It is used to describe a central location or node that functions as the focal point of a conference or meeting. Because its exact meaning varies by context, the term is less specific than established nouns such as conferentiecentrum (conference venue) or congrescentrum (congress center).

In event planning and facility management, conferentiepunt can denote the central hub within a conference program—e.g., the place where attendees predominantly gather, where registration or information desks are located, or where route planning for a multi-day event converges.

In telecommunications and information technology, conferentiepunt refers to the central node that connects multiple participants in an audio or video conference. This node, often called a conference bridge or multipoint control unit, handles the merging of streams, access control, and participation management.

In organizational contexts, conferentiepunt can describe the central contact point for coordination, such as a project’s scheduling and communication hub, which collects input from stakeholders and distributes updates.

The term is mainly used in Dutch-language materials and is context-dependent. In English, it is typically translated as conference point, conferencing hub, or conference node.
