Meetings and Events

MinorOak can host meetings, workshops and events for both members and non-members. Scroll down to learn more about our three options:

  1. the Meeting Room,
  2. the Front Room
  3. the Ground Floor, which includes both the front room and the meeting room.

Note: The mezzanine is available as a quiet work area for key-holding coworking members to use 24/7. Key holders can enter and exit through the side door across from the stairs, so they will not interfere with events happening in the front room and/or meeting room.
