Community Events at Citizen Space

Citizen Space is a coworking space first, but we do regularly host and rent out space out for events that enrich the community. Facilities include a large common area, configurable desks, digital projector and white screen, and kitchenette. If you’d like to use our space for your event, please make sure that your event attendees respect the personal space of our desk residents. You are responsible for your own setup and cleanup. Events such as discussion panels, demos, hackathons, meetups, author readings, etc. are welcome.

Note:
We don’t say yes to every event request. We prefer events that relate to San Francisco’s coworking and entrepreneurial community. Schedule and staffing resources also determine space availability.

Conference Room Rental

We have a lofted conference room above our work space that can be rented by the day, half-day, or hour. It’s private enough to have meetings and phone calls, but keep in mind that it’s in a loft and there is no door separating it from the rest of the space, so you may not want to use it for super-private discussions. Digital projector available on request.

Please email us to reserve the conference room. Rates for conference room are as follows:

  • $25/hr
  • $50/4hrs (half-day)
  • $100/8 hrs (full day)

Conference room rates apply to 10AM-6PM weekdays. Conference rooms are subject to availability.
