We do meetings and events in addition to the normal coworking. Our goal has been to have desk rental / coworking / day passes to cover the majority of our ongoing expenses. And then use events and meeting room rental as supplemental income.
I would say it has taken a while to get the right mix, but now that we are about 8 months in, that goal is coming into sight. If nothing else hosting events and meetings has helped us to build our coworking community. So the benefit to us has been more than monetary. But broadening your offerings does mean addition work / costs / distractions. And honestly if we had not found a facility that made hosting events and meetings fairly straightforward, we would not have included it in our business plan.
