The Most Important Meeting of Your Life
Let’s just pretend that you were in charge of setting up a first-class meeting or event for your employer. Are you pretending with me? Would you know where to go to find a venue that would be perfect for all those important people, who are depending on you. The future of Silicon Valley could be depending on the success of your meeting. Location, location, location, right? Okay, maybe that’s over doing it, or maybe not. Whatever the situation, it’s not easy to find event space/meeting rooms in Mountain View.
And remember that I work at the Mountain View Chamber of Commerce, and my desk recently moved from the backroom to the front office area, so I hear the questions now. There are some very interesting questions, to say the least. I’ll share them with you in the future, I promise. But the question about where to have a meeting or event comes up all the time, at least three times a week. So here’s a list of meeting/event rooms to keep handy. Please share.
They’re listed in no particular order. Please let me know if I missed anything.
