A rally point, a kind of area where people with the same goals meet; it’s an area where people can gather based on an agreed time for various types of agenda. It doesn’t matter if all of your services are home-based or offshore or if you’re all in the same area, there will be times when there will be an opportunity or a need to meet up. While most would go to coffee shops, it’s not always the ideal place to stay in because not everyone in a coffee shop can be a behaved individual. Besides, eating a lot in a coffee shop just to justify your stay is costly and unproductive, especially if what you’re eating is something that can drain your energy or make you weak.
It’s the reason why some are using coworking spaces not just for formality’s sake but because it has everything you need for a positive meeting experience, like the environment and the equipment. If you’re still not convinced, below are some of the perks that coworking spaces offer in their meeting rooms (and it’s not a good Wi-Fi connection, FYI).
No distractions: Informal places (cafés, restaurants) are distracting, especially during rush hours. If you’re doing something special and it so happens to be in rush hour, maybe you should take that as a sign that coffee shops aren’t conducive to company matters.

There are times when you will need this equipment, like during a product presentation. You can’t expect people to appreciate your product presentation if you’re in an informal place; you’re not doing networking.
The table is big enough to accommodate everyone comfortably: In any informal place, you will be lucky if you can gather a total of 6 people. But what if you’re having more than 6 people, like 10 or 12? They won’t fit on one table. Why don’t you avoid the hassle and go for a coworking space instead? Do you know that most of them offer complimentary coffee as well?
Sometimes, it’s a no-brainer to go to informal places like cafés and restaurants to meet. While these places are cozy, have good food, and drinks, and have free Wi-Fi, their limitations show, especially if you’ve been a solid customer. What if it’s rush hour and you’re in an important meeting? What if you need to do a product presentation and what if you have more than 6 people? In those instances, don’t you think that it’s more reasonable to opt for a coworking space? If you’re looking for a coworking space with a solid meeting room,
