6 Best Public Places to Have a Meeting from June 21st

May 10, 2021

If you're like us, you must be itching for June 21st when COVID-19 measures finally lift and we get back into the real world (that's the dream, anyway!)

It will mean we can try and return to normality (of sorts), get together indoors, and not rely on virtual meetings as much.

Here, Communicate Better suggests a few public places where you can hold a business meeting if you fancy a change of scenery or don't have your own office space.

1. A Coffee Shop

If you want a relaxed yet formal setting, a coffee shop can be a great place to host an intimate meeting.

Larger city centre coffee shops often have booths which provide a little privacy too. Most also offer Free Wi-Fi, so you don’t need to bring handfuls of print-outs!

2. A University

Universities aren't just for students and learning, y'know! They are also the hub of business.

Take advantage of conferencing facilities, spare lecture theatres, or small meeting rooms for hire, which can all be used for meetings.

3. Chamber of Commerce

Did you know - every town, city or region has a Chamber of Commerce - an organisation designed to help improve business prosperity through education, advice and support.

They usually offer professional office spaces and meeting rooms for members for a small fee or even for free. Often these are centrally located too, so they are easily accessible to you and your clients.

4. A Hotel

Hotels usually have conference rooms which can be hired out for larger meetings for a reasonable price.

They are also useful if you are part of a networking group where members take turns hosting meetings, as they hold a good number and refreshments can be provided.
