As we build momentum with the return of face-to-face meetings and events, we are seeing many of our clients holding Board Meetings and Corporate Retreats. Our clients are bringing their top leaders together to establish game plans for the short and long-term to ensure a successful recovery and sustained success.
We are guiding our clients to find the right destination and property for this crucial event. The key points we are discussing with them to ensure they achieve their goal are:
- Purpose…what are you trying to accomplish during this event? What is your desired outcome?
- Atmosphere to enhance…what atmosphere will create an environment for creativity and idea sharing (i.e., outdoor space, unique settings)?
- Ease of access…are you looking for a destination that offers easy access for all the attendees or are you willing to make the extra effort to get to a unique and special destination?
- Budget…what is your budget for this event? This is always an important consideration for an event and coming out of this challenging time takes even more thought to ensure the funds are available and the correct message is sent to the others in the organization.
- When…how soon do you need to hold this gathering? We are seeing a sense of urgency as the goal is to implement the new strategies quickly to move your organization forward.
These organizations have recognized that it is time to lead by example and are choosing to demonstrate from the top down that we can meet safely. This sends a powerful message to their organizations and the ideas generated will motivate the team to implement the vision for the short-term and ensure a successful future.
We are seeing momentum building and our industry is rising again. Let’s keep it going by all setting the example of safely meeting face to face.
