This fall, we are producing an investor retreat out of the city and into the Catskills. 🍂

What started as a one-day event evolved into an overnight retreat at Scribner’s Lodge, giving our client more time and space for meaningful conversation, thoughtful connection, and a change of scenery.

Scribner’s Lodge checked all the boxes:
✔️ Perfect size for a property buyout
✔️ Onsite activities provided through venue or partners
✔️ Drivable distance from Manhattan

We loved helping take the idea from “what if?” to “this feels right.”

Sometimes clients come to us with the whole plan. Sometimes they just know they want to get out of the city. We’re here for both.

A good idea, the right venue, and a little calm in the chaos. That’s a pretty good place to start.

It’s official! Another group is headed to Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa 🍷 for an offsite.

There’s something especially rewarding about returning to a property with a new group and knowing it’s the right fit.

✨ Four years at Whoa Events = Sabbatical ✨

This year, we’re celebrating Monica Powell and Meredith D’Auria on their 4-year work anniversaries at Whoa Events!

For a small business, four years is a really big deal. When people choose to build their careers with us, it creates continuity for our clients, strengthens our team, and says something meaningful about the kind of workplace we’re building.

At Whoa Events, reaching four years also means it’s time for a 3-week sabbatical. In fact, we don’t just offer it, we require it.

Why? Because this industry asks a lot of people. We believe that taking time to rest, recharge, and gain a little perspective isn’t a luxury, it’s essential. When we take care of our team, they’re able to take even better care of our clients.

Monica and Meredith, thank you for four amazing years. We couldn’t imagine Whoa Events without you, and we can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings. 🤎

You see a team offsite. We see better events.

Every year, our team reunites for an annual offsite and familiarization trip. Our location is selected based on client interest and event potential. It’s not only an opportunity for our team to meet, it’s also an opportunity for us to build destination expertise.

Since last year’s offsite, hosted by Noble House, we have successfully brought three events to their properties in San Diego.

Nothing compares to an in-person site visit.

Every walkthrough helps us evaluate meeting spaces, guest flow, room quality, the neighborhood, amenities, and details that can’t be captured in a virtual site visit or brochure.

We support local.

The best events are rooted in the community. We seek out local businesses and partners that bring character, culture, and memorable experiences to every program.

Team building with a purpose.

This is our chance to grow together while exploring activities we can confidently recommend to our clients.

We see what’s possible.

As we are planning for our 2026 Whoa Events Offsite, we are reminded of why our team spends time meeting in-person and discovering a city. Every venue, neighborhood, conversation, and experience sparks new ideas for unforgettable events.

We can’t wait to share where we are heading in 2026!

POV: Your calendar says “company offsite,” but it looks like this...

✨ Sunrise yoga with red rock views
🐎 Trail rides through the desert
🔭 Stargazing under some of the darkest skies in the country.
🏕️ Luxury glamping
🤝 Intentional moments to connect, recharge, and build relationships that last long after the trip ends

Throwing it back to one of our favorite events—and still one of the most magical. A 5 day, 4 night company wide offsite in Zion National Park.

Our favorite offsites are the ones that trade meeting rooms for nature, agendas for adventure, and small talk for genuine connection.

Where should we take a team next? 👇

Not every event calls for a flower bar. 🌸 But when your attendees are local and can actually take their bouquets home? We’d say that’s a pretty good case for one.

More than swag. A curated shop featuring custom merch and Brooklyn-made favorites. ✨

Every run of show has its thriller moments 🎬✨

One of the most consistent parts of the Real-World Asset Summit is how sponsorships show up.

Across each summit, sponsor presence is designed as part of the environment, not layered on top of it.

That starts early with clear guidelines and a shared visual system that every partner works within. From there, it carries through every touchpoint, from swag to signage to the smaller moments throughout the space.

With a consistent visual language across everything, there’s no visual clutter competing for attention. Instead, it gives each sponsor space to show up more clearly and, in some cases, as a defined part of the environment itself.

The result is not just a cohesive look. It simplifies ex*****on on-site and creates a space that feels easier to move through and spend time in.

The goal is simple. Everything feels aligned.
