More than a Venue:
Space and Culture for Gathering
A CIC event space isn’t just a room you rent — it’s a gathering place inside a working community of innovators. Whether you’re running a 30-person workshop or a 300-guest conference, you get purpose-built space, hands-on support, and a network of founders, scientists, and investors right outside the door.
What You Can Host at CIC
From company meetings and team offsites to product launches, workshops, panels, networking receptions, and full conferences, CIC spaces flex to fit the moment. Tell our Events team what you’re planning and they’ll set it up to run smoothly from the first arrival to the closing toast.
An Event Inside an Innovation Community
Most venues give you four walls. CIC gives you a room inside a community of innovators, with many initiatives like weekly Venture Café events and a global network in the same building.
Leave Catering to Us
Catering your event is easy, too. Depending on the campus, you’ll work with our preferred caterers or choose from an in-house menu. All arranged through our Events team, so it’s one less thing on your plate.
