The year is coming to an end, marking the perfect time for businesses to reflect on milestones, accomplishments, and the community that made it all possible. Planning an offsite strategy session is no easy feat, but one of the primary benefits of using a meeting off-site at a coworking space is to focus by getting away from the regular everyday work disruptions.
At HAYVN, we’re here to help you make your next off-site celebration one to remember. Off-site formats can range from team luncheons to catered end-of-year gatherings. Whether you’re a seasoned event planner or drawing inspiration for next year, this guide will help you find the perfect solution for your business.

Plan a Successful Off-Site Meeting at a Coworking Space
A combination of thoughtful planning and follow-through makes for a successful meeting with colleagues and clients. Coworking hubs can help you keep on top of things with your team, even if you meet weekly or annually.
Recent trends suggest that space owners are more focused on technology. They’re searching for a space with the latest tools and advancements, whether conducting virtual boardroom sessions or leading the next in-person team meeting.
Businesses also tend to opt for venues that offer catering options, access to multiple collaborative work areas when needed, and unique amenities. As part of our wellness mission, HAYVN members can utilize our on-site gym and yoga rooms between breaks.
While we handle the logistics of your off-site meeting, you’ll have more time to set objectives and strategic priorities for the year. Here are a few tips behind running a successful team meet.
Why Liberation Programs Uses HAYVN for Their Meetings
For Bonni Hopkins and Sara Brown of Liberation Programs, it was the perfect place to prepare for their company gathering. Their organization does vital work across Connecticut – providing treatment and prevention services for substance use and mental health disorders to help individuals and families overcome addiction and restore their lives.
The key reasons why Hopkins and Brown chose HAYVN for their team training sessions were Location, Amenities, and Technology. They needed a space for meetings off the Merritt Parkway, central to Bridgeport and New York, where their board members lived.
“We were looking for the ideal space for our staff and board members,” Hopkins said. “HAYVN had everything we needed to host board members and all the virtual meeting technology. It gave us a fresh, professional, and beautiful space for important and memorable occasions.”
The Sheffield Room, our larger conference room, was easy to customize to their preference and design, making it easy to have board meetings without stressing the small details.
