We’re well into the first business week of the New Year. Our calendars are booking up fast. So, we thought it would be a good idea to share some of our favorite business meeting locations in Omaha.
Whether you’re a remote worker or seeking to break away from the traditional office meeting space, we kept three key factors in mind with the following locations: convenience, comfortability, and a space conducive to productive discussions.
If you’re anything like our CEO who is quick to ask “Coffee? Brunch? Cocktails?” we made sure to provide options to meet your client’s availability and preferences.
