Shooting in locations with a high probability of reflections

Hi all,

I have a shoot coming up where I may be shooting in a boardroom full of glass. Myself and the director have a few shots planned where we will be looking

towards glass directly in front of camera whilst tracking laterally and panning. So I am anticipating getting into reflections hell and planning how to negate this.

My instinct is:

-Use a rota pola

-black neg/black drape the entire wall behind camera/dolly

-cover the whole dolly, camera and accessories and their LED lights with black bolton/blackout cloth

But wondering if there's something I am missing or certain moves/angles I should avoid- perhaps so that they reflection reducing effect of the rota pola 

remains consistent despite the camera moving. 

Photo of location attached. 

Just wondered if anyone has been in a similar situation and has any tips?

Cheers :)
