Not All Venues Are Created Equal
It may come as a surprise to learn that organising an off-site event is not a new trend.
You're simply following in the footsteps of the labour movement meetings of the late 19th and early 20th centuries that sought to defend the rights of employees.
And instead of unions planning to organise strikes and protests, over the course of the 20th century, it was the companies that started to organise conferences, seminars, team-building exercises and other social events.
They would typically choose to host these off-site work gatherings at hotels or generic event spaces.
However, they soon noticed problems associated with large venues.
Lack of Personal Connection
In large hotels or shared event spaces, their team was just another group among many.
The impersonal nature of these venues often detracted from the special experience they wanted to create.

Shared Spaces and Distractions
Hotels often have shared spaces with other guests, leading to potential distractions and a lack of privacy.
This regularly interfered with the sense of exclusivity and focus that their retreat was looking to achieve.

It is no wonder companies are now looking for venues where their employees enjoy privacy and receive VIP treatment.
