Corporate Training Rooms in Downtown Tampa

On-demand corporate training rooms have hit Tampa’s downtown market

With the emergence of on-demand conference rentals, corporate training rooms have grown to be a major demand among companies and professionals needing short term access to space that can accommodate large groups.

Companies are increasingly looking towards coworking and other shared workspaces to host corporate training as an alternative to devoted on-site space. These types of spaces are a perfect venue for corporate training rooms due to their inherent flexibility and professional atmosphere. Plus, daily and hourly meeting room rentals are readily adaptable to suit the needs of a training space.

Coworking Space vs. Hotel for Your Conference Room Needs

The rise in demand for hourly conference room rentals shows that companies, especially those with traveling reps or field agents, don’t want to get tied up (or tied down) with retaining devoted, on-site meeting space. And it makes sense – why pay a monthly premium for a space that’s only used once a month? However, most don’t want to sacrifice the amenities and services of a professional office space.

That’s what sets professional meeting room rentals apart from a hotel conference room – which, until recently has been the traditional option for businesses seeking off-site corporate training rooms.

If you’ve ever attended a conference or seminar held in a hotel conference room, it’s probably a familiar scene: drab colors, generic furniture and folding tables, and probably a projector and monitor too small for the size of the room. This is the issue with hotel conference rooms – they are ill-equipped to specific needs. A hotel conference room is fine to handle an expo or lecture series, but for most professional office needs, especially meetings of 15-30, they simply are not fit.

Hotels can be not only a logistical nightmare for scheduling a training session, but often, the aesthetics don’t lend themselves well to an engaging experience. Shared office and coworking spaces are much more suited for small and mid-size business meetings.

Services and Amenities

Hotels offer public conference space with capacity-fill in mind. Their ideal market is a multi-day conference or expo to fill their meeting rooms, not businesses looking for corporate training space. For that reason, they don’t typically offer the resources of a professional office: secure WiFi connection, audio/visual hook-up, computer accommodations.

Coworking spaces, on the other hand, are already equipped with these things.

Meeting Room Support

Unlike hotels, shared work spaces already have the built-in infrastructure to address the needs of conference room rentals. All those ancillary services you may need (print/copy, teleconferencing, etc.) during your training session are readily available at shared workspaces that offer meeting room rentals.

Professional Aesthetics

Last, but certainly not least, comes space aesthetics. We’ve all been there: those boring meetings where you aren’t engaged and you leave without quite being sure why you even attended. Sometimes this due to the subject of the meeting, but sometimes this can have to do with aesthetics of the space.

In hotels, conference spaces are relegated to interior rooms as spaces with best light are typically reserved for nightly reservations. They are also usually sectioned-off or placed right in the hustle-and-bustle of the lobby. Regardless, the day-to-day activities of a hotel are not focused on providing a professional environment. However, shared workplaces already cater to professional needs.
