Training centered
If you need to execute an effective training session but your office simply cannot support it either in terms of space or connectivity, several businesses in Houston provide world-class training centers set up specifically for just that. Highly wired and technologically capable, these professional training spaces are geared to facilitating and enhancing computerized and group training sessions in a focused and functional space so your employees get the most out of the experience.

Perfect for a centralized location for training for several employees, hundreds of end users or even thousands of customers, MicroTek’s state-of-the-art training rooms come fully equipped to handle any technical requirement, and the facilities offer pleasing amenities that heighten the experience and increase participant comfort. MicroTek’s worldwide network of facilities also customizes packages for any need, whether it is one room in a Houston location or coordination with hundreds of MicroTek locations all over the globe.

Themes to the extreme
Sometimes your event needs something extra or truly quirky to really make it memorable and fun for attendees.
Several venues throughout the Houston area take incorporating this thematic-style idea to a whole new level. From being immersed in the energy of music and the magic of the Hollywood spotlight to delivering into animalistic atmospheres and classic games of luck and skill, Houston’s themed event venues offer something fun for any special occasion or corporate function.
House of Blues Houston
Located only four blocks from the George R. Brown Convention Center, the House of Blues Houston offers a rocking way to theme a private event. House of Blues Houston’s energy and versatility—with commemorative co-branded House of Blues merchandise, customized gobo lights, interactive entertainment and creative décor options—perfectly complement your event objectives. House of Blues Houston offers several unique spaces for concerts, corporate parties or meetings, product launches, weddings and receptions. For intimate groups, consider the Elwood for up to 40 or the Special Events Room for up to 200, but the main dining room, music hall or entire venue are available to book for anywhere from 80 to 1,800 guests. For a turn to the exclusive, book the Foundation Room, which provides a luxurious lounge for fine dining, world-class hospitality and a private outdoor balcony for an unrivalled experience.
