A boardroom rental in Oakland gives your leadership team, investors or clients a setting that matches the stakes of the meeting. Instead of a crowded café or a cramped office corner, you get a quiet room, a big screen and a professional address. STAK Space offers boardrooms and conference rooms at 1950 Franklin and across its Uptown Oakland campus, a short walk from the 19th Street BART station. Here is what to look for in a boardroom and how to book one that fits your agenda. Planning travel for attendees? BART connects Uptown with San Francisco and the East Bay.
What Makes a Great Boardroom Rental in Oakland
The best boardrooms feel calm and capable the moment you walk in. Look for a long table with comfortable seating, a large display for presentations, solid Wi-Fi and a door that closes out the noise. STAK Space boardrooms at 1950 Franklin, including the Birds of a Feather room on the 17th floor, bring those basics together in a polished building in the heart of Uptown. On-site staff are available from 8 AM to 5 PM on weekdays if you need help getting settled. Explore your options on our meeting rooms in Oakland page.
Executive Meeting Rooms With Built-In Screens
A clean presentation setup saves the first ten minutes of every meeting. STAK’s rooms are equipped with screens for sharing slides, dashboards and video calls, so remote board members can join without a scramble. For larger presentations, STAK’s event rooms include built-in screens, microphones and speakers, and the team can help plan anything beyond the basics. Event spaces are available for rent, and pricing depends on the room and date, so start with a conversation with the team on our event venues page.
Book by the Hour or Include Hours in a Membership
If your team meets often, a membership may be the simplest route. Basic memberships include 3 hours of complimentary conference room bookings and HQ memberships include 5, plus a discount on additional bookings. Members reserve rooms in the STAK app, and soundproof booths are available for one-on-one calls before or after the meeting. Members may host up to two guests at a time in reserved meeting rooms, so talk to the team about larger groups. Compare plans on our memberships page.
A Professional Address Your Guests Can Reach
A boardroom only works if people can get there. STAK Space is about a three-minute walk from the 19th Street Oakland BART station, which makes it easy for attendees coming from San Francisco, Berkeley or Walnut Creek. Guests who drive can use daily parking at the 1901 Franklin garage next door. Downtown views and an elevated building lobby set the tone before anyone sits down. Read more about getting here on our parking page.
Before and After the Meeting
Great meetings often continue over coffee or lunch. Members can take guests up to the 39th-floor penthouse lounge with its chef’s kitchen, terrace views and media wall, and catering can be arranged for STAK event spaces. Uptown’s restaurants and the Fox and Paramount theaters are steps away for a team dinner. If you want to see the rooms first, every tour includes a complimentary day pass, so you can book a tour and work on site the same day.
How to Prepare a Boardroom Meeting
A great boardroom rental in Oakland is only half of a productive meeting. A little preparation makes the room work harder:
- Send the agenda and pre-reads at least two days ahead.
- Test your slides on the room’s screen before attendees arrive.
- Set up a video link for remote directors and share it early.
- Plan breaks, coffee and lunch around the longest agenda items.
- Book a soundproof booth nearby for private side conversations.
STAK’s on-site staff can help you get oriented on weekdays, and members can book extra room time in the STAK app if the discussion runs long. For bigger leadership retreats, read our corporate offsite in Oakland guide.
