The display includes a first sheet segment having a first magnetic inner face, a first outer display face, a first outer shape having a first straight edge, and a first height. The first height is less than or substantially equal to the first width of the first door panel. A second sheet segment includes a second magnetic inner face, a second outer display face, a second outer shape having a second straight edge, and a second height that is substantially equal to the second width of the second door panel.

A method, system and apparatus for the integrated management of in-person and e-meeting attendance. A system for the consolidated management of an attendance list for a hybrid meeting can include a collaborative bridge configured for coupling both to an in-person meeting and an e-meeting, a data store of integrated attendance, and attendance integration logic programmed to manage a consolidated attendance list in the data store for the in-person meeting and the e-meeting by accessing attendance information through the collaborative bridge. Notably, the in-person meeting can include a sensor coupled to the collaborative bridge and configured to detect a presence of tags affixed to participants to the in-person meeting to manage the attendance information for the in-person meeting. As an example, the sensor and tags can be a radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor and corresponding RFID tags, a badge reader and corresponding badges, or at least one wireless access point and corresponding wireless transmitters.
