Remember when co-workers gathered for off-site events at conference centers to meet, collaborate without distraction, and get to know each other better?
With all the new technology, we've learned that we can do more than we thought without sharing the same space. But we've also learned that there is no replacement for working face to face and shoulder to shoulder. Most importantly, we've learned what matters to us. In addition to the necessity of gathering with friends and colleagues, spending time in nature, escaping from the day-to-day, and getting a fresh perspective helps breathe new life into our hearts and minds.
What Makes a Good Corporate Meeting Venue or Destination?

The Perfect Conference Venues Provide Time in Nature to Unplug and Refresh.
Nothing says thank you for your hard work like a few days to discover the sights and sounds of Yosemite Mariposa County.
Schedule time to admire the world-famous cliffs of Yosemite's incomparable Valley, like El Capitan and Half Dome. Walk through the living trunks of giant sequoias in the Mariposa Grove, or relax in graceful foothills punctuated by songful creeks and rivers.
The pace of a lazy summer river, or cloud shadows blowing across distant mountains encourages us to take a step back from the daily routine, reset priorities, and invent new solutions. Simply allowing the space for thoughts to stretch across mountains and meadow vistas can spur fresh thinking and renewed energy.
World-Class Activities to Bring Your Group Closer Together
Let's be honest, creating an all-star team from a group of talented individuals takes more than just work projects or email threads. Yosemite Mariposa County is the ultimate all-star meeting destination for activities that create long-lasting memories and bonds that your team will remember forever.
Start everyone off with a group activity in the quiet hours of the morning. Paddling together through Class 4 whitewater in a raft on the Merced River is sure to create the collaborative spirit that continues to ripple forward long after the experience is over. Later in the evening, while tasting local wines or craft beer, maybe they'll recount favorite parts of their mountain bike ride at Exchequer Park or pretend they weren't afraid while dangling from a rope during a rock climbing class.
Of course, not everyone needs thrills to stimulate their creative mind. A visit to the Mariposa Museum and History Center with its exhibit on the 10,000-year history of the Miwuk people and the famous baskets of the local people give that perspective of the patient and precise weaver's hand that straw by straw builds a functional work of art. A visit to the California State Mining and Mineral Museum might inspire that bootstrap mentality of those willing to stake it all on a dream. Perhaps your group will take a memorable ride on a historic steam train from the logging days and remember it fondly when photos of their co-workers appear in their "memories" stream on their phones. Maybe they will just take time for a quiet walk in the forest where their minds and feet can find their own paths, letting their best ideas percolate so they can bring fresh perspectives to their jobs and their lives.
