Our Inspiration

Silicon Valley is known as the hub of start-up innovation. Gus Valen believes Cincinnati is the hub of corporate innovation. From that vision, Gus Valen was inspired to introduce the first creative meeting space for rent in Cincinnati, Blue Ocean Facilities. Venue details were conceived by The Valen Group, who consults on innovation with many top Fortune and Global 1000 companies known for innovation.

In their experience, successful innovation requires three critical components: The Right People, The Right Process, and a component that is often missing – The Right Environment. That missing component led to the creation of Blue Ocean Facilities.

Cincinnati Creative Meeting Space Developed in consultation with design architects, creativity researchers and facilitators, the space radiates creativity, and most importantly, is designed to help craft innovative solutions to complex problems. We understand exactly what it takes to bring meetings to life.

Blue Ocean Facilities. Because where you meet matters.
