ARIZONA: Take Your Meeting Beyond
You are looking for exceptional space and service for your event… PLUS a destination that offers opportunities for recreation, connection and entertainment. You need a location that provides more than just meeting space, but a place that takes your meetings BEYOND–beyond the ballroom, breakout, and boardroom. Arizona is the perfect destination to take your group beyond. We talked with the team from the Arizona Office of Tourism to find out the details.
Why do groups love to come to Arizona to meet and recreate?
Arizona's most famous natural landmark, the Grand Canyon, is just the beginning of what makes this state an inspiring destination for meetings. Event planners appreciate our top-notch hotels and resorts with sophisticated meeting facilities while attendees love unique breakout options, larger-than-life adventures, and culinary delights. Add the sunshine and breathtaking views, and it’s easy to see why Arizona makes meetings memorable.
How do many of Arizona’s venues bring meetings to the outdoors?
With beautiful weather year-round, more than 325 days of sunshine to be exact, being outdoors is the norm in Arizona. Our wide-open spaces framed by spectacular mountain ranges offer the perfect backdrop to host your group large or small. And the majority of Arizona’s resorts, venues, attractions, and museums offer unique outdoor and hybrid spaces that make it easy to keep your distance. You can find everything from American Indian heritage and culture at resorts such as Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass, Old West-themed venues like Rawhide Western Town, picturesque architectural wonders such as Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West, and everything in between.
What are a few exceptional group experiences in Arizona that take meetings beyond the venue?
Endless adventure options in Arizona make the state an ideal place for your attendees to unwind in the great outdoors after a successful event. Hike or ride horseback along scenic desert trails. Tackle red-rocked backcountry on a Jeep. Raft the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Or embark through the state’s stunning scenery on a bucket-list road-trip filled with culture of the Old West, food worth traveling for, and iconic landscapes.
