So, my partners and I have been going back and forth over the conference room at our space for a while now, and I wanted to get some insight from everyone here on how you use yours. For some background, we're a small-ish space with about 25 members, we could probably accommodate 50 at the most. We have a pretty nice conference room, but it almost NEVER gets used, and when it is reserved, it's almost always just for phone calls (we don't have a phone room right now). We've been open for a year, and I'm honestly not sure if a single member has ever held a meeting or brought a client in. So this is where our disagreement comes in, my thought is that our member base clearly could care less about having a conference room (we're going to be building a phone booth soon, so they'll still have a good spot to take phone calls) so why don't we turn it in to something that they might actually use? I think it could make for a really cool lounge area/game room, and that we could install a murphy bed style conference table that people could fold down if they wanted to have a meeting. My partners disagree, and say that even though nobody uses it, prospective members are going to be put off by the fact that we don't have a dedicated conference room and that even if it never gets reserved, we can still just use it for overflow desk space.
