Carnesale Commons

Carnesale Commons is a contemporary conference and event venue located on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles. Its flexible spaces are designed for organisers planning business meetings, conferences, seminars, training sessions, receptions, banquets and catered corporate events.

The venue’s principal space is the Palisades Room, a bright and adaptable area of approximately 6,700 square feet. It can operate as one large event room or be divided into several salons, making it suitable for plenary sessions, presentations, networking receptions, classroom layouts and dinner functions. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide natural light and views across the UCLA campus, while powered shades and blackout blinds support presentations and screen-based programmes.

For smaller meetings and breakout activities, Carnesale Commons also offers Malibu, Venice and Hermosa rooms, with flexible layouts and capacities for workshops, discussion groups, board meetings and supporting sessions. The venue can accommodate events ranging from intimate gatherings to larger programmes with several hundred delegates.

Event organisers benefit from complimentary Wi-Fi, audio-visual technology and technical support, on-site parking options, experienced conference managers and dedicated event facilitators. UCLA also provides exclusive on-site catering, with menus covering formal dinners, buffets, refreshments, coffee service and delivered options. Catering teams can help coordinate service details, linen, floral arrangements, decorations and additional event equipment.

Carnesale Commons is a practical choice for organisers seeking a professional university setting with reliable infrastructure, flexible room combinations and coordinated hospitality services. Its central campus location, sustainability credentials and access to wider UCLA facilities make it suitable for conferences, corporate meetings, academic programmes, receptions and multi-session events.
