Here’s How and Where to Rent a Conference Room for a Day

Conference rooms aren’t just for meetings. You can also use them for workshops, team-building events, focus groups, and other small-group activities. Some offices and coworking spaces may have conference rooms available on-site. However, if your office is cramped for space, you may need to look elsewhere. In this article, we’ll show you how and where to rent a conference room for a day.

Why rent a conference room for a day?

Why pay to rent a conference room for a day when you could just use your existing office space or even meet at a coffee shop or library? There are a few major reasons to consider one.

Privacy

The first and most important reason is privacy. If you’re hosting an executive board meeting, consulting with a client, or interviewing a potential new employee, then you can’t do it in an open office. In some cases, a meeting may be so confidential that you have to host it off-site.

Renting a conference room affords you the privacy to conduct your business in a way that makes you and your clients feel comfortable.

Space

Maybe your office is too small to have a separate conference room, or maybe you don’t have an office at all because you work from home or in a coworking space.

In fact, if your company is just starting, you may need a place to meet with clients before you’re able to invest in an office space of your own. Or, you may just need to meet clients at a more central location. Whatever the reason, renting a conference room gives you more options and flexibility in terms of space.

Aesthetics

Sometimes you just need a change of scenery. You can even rent a conference room for a day to shoot team photos in a more professional environment.

On Peerspace, you’ll find conference rooms with classy “executive” decor and others with quirky colors and a casual vibe that will look great on your company’s Instagram feed or marketing materials.

You can also choose from various seating arrangements, from traditional boardroom-style layouts to open or closed U-shaped layouts, classroom-style layouts, and more.

Equipment

Equipment is one of the best reasons to rent a conference room for a day. At a minimum, you can expect a conference room to have good lighting and comfortable furniture, but many conference rooms will also have additional amenities such as WiFi and A/V gear.

Need to present a pitch deck or give a report to shareholders? Rent a conference room with a projector. Need to record an important board meeting or chat with a remote client? Choose a conference room with videoconferencing capabilities.

No matter what kind of meeting you have in mind, a private conference room makes a great first impression. It can provide a professional atmosphere for your conference or presentation and ensure you have the gear you need.

These are just a few examples of the kinds of events that work well in conference rooms:

• Interviews
• Board meetings
• Video conferences
• Team building events
• Focus groups
• Workshops
• And more!

How much does it cost?

A conference room is one of the most affordable types of corporate event spaces you can rent. Although the price per hour will vary based on the location, the size of the room, and the amenities included, you might be surprised at how much your money can buy — even in hotspots like New York City and San Francisco. 

And while some venues have a minimum rental period, most are happy to accommodate you for as little as one hour, with amenities such as kitchen access and an on-site receptionist included.

To explore this in more depth, let’s take a look at some of the conference rooms we mentioned above.

An executive director shared the following Peerspace review after booking this conference room: “This is a terrific space. It is well equipped, and thoughtfully laid out. We used the conference room for training. The area was quiet. There was a screen for projection, with all of the dongles. There was power in the middle of the table so you didn’t have to hunt for outlets. We were able to adjust the heat to make it comfortable. The bathrooms are clean and there is a nice kitchen area.”

Texas-style thoughtfulness

Similarly priced is the rustic high-tech space in Grapevine, TX. It costs just about $40 per hour, with no minimum rental period. This office provides space for 12, high-speed internet, Apple TV, flip charts, whiteboards, a kitchen, and breakout space.

London style and service

In the words of a Peerspace user who booked this conference room. “The space was immaculate and the staff was fantastic. We cannot recommend enough. It was perfect for our team workshop.”
