I have meeting room greater than 1000 square feet. Would NEC 2017 Article 210.71(B) apply to this meeting room?

I read that as the rooms 1000 sq.ft or less need the locking receptacles, I assume for projectors. Rooms larger , I assume are designed for projectors from above so they would not need that locking receptacle. I am sure I am wrong.
This begs the question is there no req. for meeting rooms >1000 sq.ft

The requirement for meeting rooms 1000sf or less is for non-locking receptacles, not locking receptacles.
There is no requirement for meeting rooms greater then 1000sf. Install what makes sense for the room.

If you have a meeting room that has more than 1000 square feet, you can stop reading. Just like most other area in non-dwelling occupancies, there is no receptacle requirement for a meeting room larger than 1000 square feet.

Just look it up, it may be better than reading it here.
I would just follow the print or designers spec.

Ok but what about 210.71(B) and meeting room larger than 1000 sq? Does it apply?

You question has been answered a number of times. I was incorrect in my assessment. How can 210.71(B) apply -- Don stated no requirements for meeting rooms larger than 1000 sq.ft
