    Abstract: A conference table includes a base and a worksurface supported by the base. The worksurface has a peripheral edge and an aperture having a node and at least three branches extending radially outwardly from the node. The base has a peripheral wall defining an interior space, an opening and a panel moveable between an open position wherein the interior space is accessible through the opening and a closed position wherein the panel is disposed over the opening. One or more electronic components may be coupled to the panel. A cable retention device may be coupled to a utility cable above the worksurface. The cable retention device includes an inlet formed in a peripheral side, a first outlet in communication with the inlet and formed in the peripheral side at a location spaced apart from the inlet, and a second outlet in communication with the inlet and formed in a bottom.

    Abstract: A collaboration system for sharing digital content among multiple conferees during a conference session, each conferee using a personal computing device including a device display screen and a device processor, includes a wireless receiver, at least a first large common display screen providing a common emissive surface, and at least a first system processor linked to the receiver and the at least a first common display screen. The device and system processors are programmed to cooperate to provide a user interface via each device display screen, each interface including at least a first sharing field and a file queue. The processors also are programmed to visually distinguish, on each user interface, each file added to the session by one conferee from other files added by other conferees. Additionally, the processors are configured to replicate content presented in the at least a first sharing field on the large common emissive surface.
