Meeting rooms in Ankeny. Made for getting somewhere.
Book a 4-, 6-, or 12-person meeting room for a client presentation, leadership offsite, strategy session, interview, or hands-on workshop. Thoughtfully equipped spaces, easy online booking, and a meeting experience that goes well beyond four walls.
No membership required.
The rooms
The right room changes the whole meeting.
thinkTANK
Good ideas hate beige.
Color, artwork, whiteboards, and a room designed to wake up the conversation before the meeting even gets going.
coLAB
Meetings could use more play.
Two whiteboard walls, 3D tic-tac-toe, screens, and a room made for people who'd rather work together than just sit together.
theGARAGE
We refuse to call it a conference room.
Working garage door. Ping-pong table. Giant screen. Three whiteboards. Sticky notes. LEGO. You get the idea.
For the organizer
The person booking the meeting should have an easier day.
From choosing a space to getting everyone through the door.
Choose with confidence.
Compare three distinct rooms by group size and purpose. Reserve the date and time online, with no coworking membership needed.
Make it your meeting.
Set your meeting title, and—when you opt in—add your company's name and logo to the welcome experience. Blue Bean CAST brings that identity to the meeting-room screens, the door-side tablets and the shared guest welcome displays.
Help guests arrive ready.
Confirmation and arrival information are sent after booking. Once everyone is together, screens, whiteboards and collaboration tools help the group get to work.
What brings teams here
Strategy days, client meetings, workshops and team offsites.
Sometimes you need a conference room for four. Sometimes you need somewhere a six-person team can think out loud. And sometimes you need a different setting for a twelve-person planning day, leadership session or small corporate retreat. Blue Bean gives Ankeny and Des Moines-area teams a place to meet, work things out and move forward.
theGARAGE supports larger working sessions, coLAB is built for active collaboration, and thinkTANK suits focused smaller meetings. Choose the room that fits the work and book only the time you need.
Technology
The technology is there when you need it.
Then it gets out of the way.
Present. Share a screen. Fill the whiteboards. Bring someone in remotely. Move around. Work something out. Our rooms are equipped for the meeting without making the technology the meeting. And when somebody needs another coffee, the Coffee Bar is right here for guests during its staffed morning hours.
Good to know
A few things meeting organizers usually ask.
Do I need a membership to book a meeting room?
No. Guests and companies can reserve Blue Bean meeting rooms without a coworking membership. Choose the room, date and time through the online booking experience.
How many people can Blue Bean accommodate?
thinkTANK seats up to 4, coLAB seats up to 6, and theGARAGE accommodates up to 12. The room capacities are firm limits, so choose the space that fits your attendees.
Can we book a conference room for an offsite or planning retreat?
Yes. Our rooms suit small-team offsites, executive planning sessions, client presentations and collaborative workshops. Reservations follow the available booking calendar and operating hours.
Can I personalize the meeting experience?
Yes. Add your meeting title when booking, and choose whether to display your company's name or logo on Blue Bean's meeting welcome screens. Company recognition is optional and requires your consent for that reservation.
Is coffee available for meeting attendees?
Yes. The Coffee Bar serves active meeting guests during its weekday service window, 8 AM to noon. Handcrafted drinks and food are separate purchases unless included in a particular booking offer.
