briefing room

Press conference location

A briefing room is a space where officials deliver information to journalists, staff, or other audiences.

The term most often refers to the White House Press Briefing Room, where the press secretary addresses reporters: The spokesperson took questions in the briefing room.

Military and corporate settings also have briefing rooms for presenting updates and intelligence.
