District Hall is designed for flexibility: to support everything from off-site brainstorm sessions to cocktail receptions, from hackathons to award ceremonies, from annual meetings to dance parties.
MEETINGS OF ALL SIZES
Whether you have 4 people in town for a brainstorm session, or four hundred experts getting together to explore the future of their industry, there is space here that works.
FULL EVENT SUPPORT
District Hall is designed to make the basics easy, and our hospitality partners at Gather and Brew have a full-service events team that can do everything from gourmet hors d’oeuvres and carving stations to pizza and beers. You can use our on-site audiovisual technology and furniture, and if you need anything additional, we can help with that too.
DESIGNED FOR TECHNOLOGY
With floor outlets throughout, classroom tables with power, and very strong wireless, District Hall is designed to support technology-focused events, from training sessions and workshops to data challenges.
MAKE IT YOUR OWN
All of District Hall’s walls are covered in Ideapaint—our clients can draw logos, write hashtags, or hire artists for live murals. Flexible infrastructure means that it’s simple to hang banners or install gallery exhibitions.
HIGH-QUALITY DESIGN
District Hall was designed by award-winning architects Hacin + Associates, and has been featured in publications like Interior Design Magazine, Fast Company and Metropolis.
SENSE OF COMMUNITY
On any given day at District Hall, you’re surrounded by entrepreneurs, local leaders, investors, potential partners and friends. This is a place where the community comes together to do their best work—and change the world in the process.

FULL BUILDING RENTALS

District Hall has also hosted many events that take up more than one space simultaneously, or sometimes the whole building. For large scale events, many different setup configurations are available, and the building can transition easily from one kind of use during the day to another at night (i.e. daytime conference into a nighttime reception). For events of this scale, the District Hall staff will work with you to find the right configuration for your needs.
