Optimist Studios offers an 11,000 sq ft blackout-capable stage for company events, conferences and private celebrations, with occupancy of up to 862 people. The venue stands at 5441 W 104th St in Los Angeles, five minutes from LAX, and is hired as a private campus.
Seminars and company events
Teams from El Segundo, Playa Vista, Culver City and the South Bay use Studio X for all-hands meetings, town halls, trainings, product reviews and holiday parties. The floor is a blank stage, so your AV partner builds staging, screens and sound to match the program. Four production offices in Suite X work as breakout rooms and speaker rooms.
For hybrid sessions and livestreams, gigabit internet is available, and 600 amps of 3-phase power supports larger technical builds. Conferences, summits and industry meetings can use the full floor for general sessions, keynotes and expo areas.
The same floor takes brand activations, product launches, vehicle reveals and automotive clinics. Drive-in doors let cars roll straight onto the floor, and full blackout means lighting and LED walls carry the design. The private West Lot next door is used for outdoor activations and food trucks.
Weddings and receptions
Studio X is also hired for weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, quinceañeras and milestone birthdays. The room is an open industrial floor, so your planner and designers create the layout from scratch, from dance floor and stage to lighting, food stations and lounges. The whole campus is private for your event.
Suite X provides green rooms with private restrooms for the family or talent. The West Lot can host an outdoor welcome, food trucks or a tented area. A dedicated site representative works with you on the day.
Rooms and capacities
Studio X covers 11,000 sq ft of open floor with full blackout. The venue states occupancy of up to 862 people for conference use. Suite X adds 4,000 sq ft of support space, including four offices and green rooms. The West Lot is a private outdoor area beside the stage.
The venue is also used for photo and video production, with a two-wall cyc and drive-in doors, and for motion capture on multi-day private holds. Organisers who want to check dimensions before visiting can use the Matterport virtual tour on the official site, or book an in-person walkthrough.
Catering
There is no set in-house menu. A full kitchen supports outside catering, and for celebrations you may bring your own caterer, planner and vendors with approval from the venue.
