I carry a battery powered projector for this reason for talking with customers, providers or partners. I use standard airport suitcases for that.

It just makes no sense spending lots of time trying to adapt to obsolete infrastructure for every person you visit. If necessary I even have a blackboard and color chalks in my car and get away with them.

When I go to the meeting room, if I don't need to use my projector, great, but I will never use VGA, too much hassle.

Except:

- some conf room don't have a projector, but flat screens, a smart white boards or some remote conf setup that needs you to plug in, and/or no walls that fits the bill for projection

- some conf rooms don't have a place to put for your projector and get a good picture. Their is own the ceiling.

- unless you buy a very good one, some conf rooms won't have the light for your projector to be readable

- it addresses only the projector problem, not ethernet, sd card, usb A, etc

- a good projector is way more expensive that a few dongles, are easier to break, harder to replace if lost/broken or if you forget it at home

Not to say it's a bad idea to _also_ have a projector.

What projector do u use?
