If you’re familiar with the Philadelphia area, you already know there’s ALWAYS something exciting to do and explore with friends and family in this amazing city. But have you been here for business? Philadelphia is also known for hosting some of the country’s most memorable event venues for corporate functions and business meetings of all sizes.
Why does this matter, when it’s all about business? Because one stodgy corporate meeting after another, (in one forgettable city after another), can get really ‘old’ for frequent business travelers, and can stifle the creative energies that often make the difference between a growing company and a thriving empire.
Some of the greatest corporate collaborations have been nurtured on the golf course. While the suit and tie environment so often associated with business events might make for a look of success and an ambience of austerity, it’s not exactly conducive to ease of interaction and a feeling of equality among colleagues.
It has been proven time and again that teams who have FUN together; and who take some time for recreation and connection outside the office, will be far greater collaborators in the office. Stepping out from under the fluorescent lights for awhile allows team members to relax and let those ever-important creative juices flow. It’s not a new concept that contented, valued team members demonstrate a far greater degree of productivity – and we all know what that means for a company’s bottom line.
It’s more critical than ever that every Philadelphia corporate event or business meeting be considered an investment in your team and company connections – no opportunity should be wasted. So if you must have a corporate event, business meeting or other company function, why not make the most of it? Work for business, collaborate with pleasure. These combined elements will make for a winning event, and a winning business.

Great customer service- tracking my flight, noting it was going to land 40 minutes early…and making the adjustment so someone was there to meet me at the airport early! Also, receiving a confirmation email 24 hours prior was reassuring as well. Thank you!!
