Here are some inspiring outside spaces.

Hong Kong is known for its concrete canyons, but the city can actually offer some special green spaces. Hosting events outdoors is a refreshing change for city-weary delegates. This particular venue also features a rooftop pool, meaning that the inability to resist an impromptu pool party might be no more than a few glasses of champagne away.
