The 5% Retreat Design

95% of retreats and offsites follow the same agenda—arrival, dinner, an activity, and a topic or guest speaker. Chris will share how to shift your thinking from retreating to advancing, with breakout ideas you can apply to your Forum and your own company’s events, whether a customer gathering or an employee offsite.

With 25 years of experience designing over 200 small-group offsites for brands like The North Face, Saucony, Dickies, and FootJoy—as well as owning a remote event venue that hosts 50 small gatherings annually—Chris brings fresh, practical insights that will inspire your thinking, improve outcomes, and address any budget concerns.

Learning Deliverables:

• Designing your agenda for maximum impact

• Breakout ideas to shake up the traditional offsite

• Cost-effective design considerations
