GVPTA Online Meeting Room

Please Note: This service is being discontinued

GVPTA's Zoom meeting room booking service is being discontinued in August 2021.

If you wish to request a booking for a meeting taking place up until October 31, 2021, you must submit your request via the online form by August 27.

Requests will not be accepted after August 27.

Each meeting slot is for up to 4 consecutive hours (you may request more time which we will try to accommodate if we are able).

Meetings should be related to advancing your work or organization in the theatre (or arts and culture) sector, like board meetings, production or planning meetings, etc.

This offer may not be used for:

Public- or audience-facing activities (performances, presentations, etc)
Personal "hang out" sessions
Paid services (ie. no one shall be asked to pay to attend, via ticket or by donation)*

*Exceptions are for organizations hosting Annual General Meetings, where a membership fee is required to vote.

Note: Zoom's free account allows two people to meet with no time restrictions, while meetings with 3 or more are cut off at 40 minutes. If your meeting fits within those restrictions, please use your free account. If your activity does not fit within the intended scope of our guidelines, you may consider paying for one month of Zoom Pro – just be sure to cancel your account before it renews. Google Hangouts and Skype are other free options you may wish to explore.

Read the F.A.Q. below for more details.

Please note: After opening up this program to host more than 45 meetings attended by 450+ people between March and August, this service will now only be available to GVPTA members. Learn more about membership.
