Hire The Meeting Rooms at Firstsite: a space designed to support your ideas
Written by Jess, Sales & Events Coordinator
Host to poetry slams, craft workshops, team days, drop-in sessions, 1:1s and, of course, your usual meetings! The meeting rooms offer a wide range of opportunities within the space due to the folding boardroom table and technology.
A space for community
I’m extremely pleased to welcome our community groups for regular meetups in this space. The sense of safety it provides means they really feel like they have a place of their own within the building.
We host weekly Sunday church groups, Trans Tea Time, and many of the community groups use the spaces to plan larger events here.
Flexible and functional layouts
One of our other notable clients has split both rooms into an editing suite (thanks to high-speed internet connections and blinds to remove screen glare), and uses the second space as a teaching room.
The interconnecting doors make travelling between spaces easy and flexible.
A space for creativity and play
I mean, I’ll be honest, my favourite event has to be my own birthday party I host here (maybe I’m biased!), but I wanted a space I could easily zone, and both meeting rooms fit the bill very well.
I could have permanent computer setups in Meeting Room 2, then transform Meeting Room 1 from board and card games, folding all the tables away, to a mini murder mystery party we all dressed up for!
The next day, we set the chairs theatre-style and sat in an imaginary cockpit of a spaceship, using the TV as the viewscreen.
It’s a really great space that has a lot more flexibility than I think people realise!
Smart technology for modern meetings
Since the recent room update, there is a lot of tech in the rooms to support hybrid meetings.
It’s easy to dial people in from all over the world and easy to present with a camera that will follow you around the room!
Yes, I know it initially sounds a little Big Brother, but after you clip on the lapel microphone and crack on with the digital whiteboard, the fact the audio is already balanced in the room for you and the video keeps you in frame without the need for manual adjustment.
The plug-and-play nature for presenting means we have since become home to networking groups and prominent meeting room producers.
Spaces to suit every style
If you’re looking for a more comfortable, collaborative setting, Meeting Room 2 seats 15 in a boardroom layout.
Meeting Room 1 brings a little more grandeur, seating 20, for impressing corporate clients and often houses our own internal Firstsite meetings.
Hire the space for your next event
While we’ve seen a wide variety of creative uses for the space, nothing has topped the squishy rage room yet. Think you can? Just please go easy on the new TVs!
Why not tailor your event by combining the meeting rooms with our nearby cinema or studios for breakout sessions, or use the foyer for arrivals, networking, and post-event gatherings. Firstsite Cinema adds the wow factor to any event!
