Many guests introduce family and friends to Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa after attending business retreats.

As a professional meeting planner, I know it’s important that corporations, industry associations, and businesses small and large invest their resources wisely into team-building experiences.

This sophisticated mountain resort, Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa, is tailor-made for team-building events, meetings, retreats, workshops and conferences.

The state-of-the-art Conference Center features 14,000 square feet of modern meeting space and accommodates groups of 300+ people, making it the largest conference facility in the region.

The hiring platform, Indeed.com, underscores that collaboration, communication and trust among employees are the foundation of a successful business. Team building, which refers to building professional relationships among employees, inspires a workplace that promotes employee satisfaction and leads to greater profitability. Team building is how we truly get to know our colleagues (and clients). Team members can build trust on the trails, or on the golf course. Or ducking under low-hanging limbs as you ride horseback into the forests and valleys.

Meeting planners who focus on Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa already know that team building activities and excursions are easily built in.

I work with both small and large businesses to help them select action-oriented and cultural outings for team-building adventures that are customized to the meeting package. Here’s an example of what you can include when you book a group event at Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa:

• Golf Tournament on the award-winning 18-hole golf course, accessible for players of all levels
• Golf Clinics
• Guided Horseback Trail Rides
• Axe Throwing Competitions
• Hayride and picnic
• Team-Building Exercises: Win-it-in-a-Minute and Murder Mysteries
• Local Winery Tastings & Tours
• Pontoon Boat Cruise on Lake Chatuge
• And more, just ask!

Casually, your guests can relax in indoor/outdoor pools and in the hot tub. There’s a fitness room with the latest exercise equipment, and 9 miles of hiking trails on-property.

What I have learned over time is that the best destination conferences can introduce guests to the wow of a place. Many of Brasstown’s guests come back because they attended a professional event here.

They found a gem! Now they’re introducing their families and friends who come to play golf and tennis, fish, hike and swim. They’re riding horseback for the first time or from a childhood ago. They (and you) can also go whitewater rafting, tubing, kayaking, and bird watching!

Both Golf Digest and Leading Golf Courses of America rank Brasstown Valley Golf Course as one of the top courses in Georgia. It’s a fabulous resort for hosting destination charity golf tournaments.

Most of my clients work within a 2-hour drive of the resort, in places like Asheville, Chattanooga or Atlanta. A conference at Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa is a way companies can bring retreats to a Southeast destination without unnecessary travel costs.

Some of my clients meet at the resort year after year. It’s that exciting! From mom-and-pop businesses who bring employees here just for fun, to larger associations of hundreds of people, the goals are the same: Be successful. Be happy.

Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa is the perfect place to come for your retreat. Inquire here and may each guest have fun not once – but twice – as they come back again, and again.
