Working from home is great until you have to meet with a client or colleague. You can’t have them in your home and maintain a professional appearance. What are your other options? The good news is you can still hold in-person meetings in several ways without a dedicated office. Below are three options to consider.
Rent a Conference Room
One of the easiest ways to hold an in-person meeting is to rent a conference room. Many coworking spaces, business centers, and hotels offer conference room rental options that are fully equipped with everything you need for a successful meeting. Conference rooms are a popular option. More than 18 million meetings are scheduled annually in the United States, adding up to $280 billion in spending. Conference rooms can be rented by the hour, half-day, or full-day, making it easy to find a space that meets your needs and budget.
Use a Shared Workspace
A shared workspace can be another great option. Shared workspaces are communal office spaces typically used by freelancers, entrepreneurs, and small business owners. Many shared workspaces offer private meeting rooms rented by the hour or day. These meeting rooms usually have audio-visual equipment, Wi-Fi, and other necessary amenities for a successful meeting. A shared workspace could be a great way to maintain your professional image and host client meetings.
Meet at a Public Space
If you’re on a tight budget, meeting at a public space may be the best option for you. Public spaces like libraries, coffee shops, and community centers often have meeting rooms that can be reserved for free or a nominal fee. While these spaces may not be as fully equipped as a rented conference room or shared workspace, they can still provide a quiet and comfortable environment for your meeting. Just make sure to check the availability of the space ahead of time and arrive early to set up any necessary equipment.
Renting a conference room, using a shared workspace, or meeting at a public space are all great options. If you’re interested in learning more about conference room rental for holding in-person meetings, please get in touch with us today. We welcome the opportunity to host your next meeting.
