I hope this list of conference room and meeting and/or event spaces is a great start to an extensive list of incredible spaces located around Birmingham. If none of these places work out for you, I encourage you to continue to find and share spaces that work for all of your needs.
The first four suggestions are special to us here at Forge, as they are all coworking spaces located around the Birmingham area. In fact, they, and some others not mentioned, are all a part of the Birmingham Coworking Collective(BCC). The BCC’s goal is to grow and strengthen the coworking community in Birmingham through increasing awareness and much more.
In efforts to increase awareness, support coworking, and empower professionals around Birmingham, the Birmingham Coworking Collective has a Passport which allows you access to all seven of the coworking spaces in the Birmingham area – allowing you to visit and try out each space before potentially committing to a membership.
Even if coworking is not for you, we highly encourage you to check out these wonderful collaborative working spaces and some of the meeting and conference rooms Birmingham has to offer.
