Make Your Meeting Soar: Up, Up, and Away!
Team work does not happen until all introductions are over, and all social obligations are met. When strangers come together for the first time over a common cause, it takes time to exchange expected information and to gather or process impressions before these strangers can function in harmony towards a group goal.
Smart meeting planners are aware of this situation that often shaves a precious 30 to 45 minutes off of the start of a meeting. Instead of working on introductions at the meeting, some smart business meeting planners are thinking outside of the box for situations that can guarantee a group unity prior to the start of an important business function.
Well? Don’t just sit there, grab the phone book. It’s time to send that meeting on their very first Hot Air Balloon ride over the city at dawn to see the sights, make a few friends, and to energize those sleepy minds with a shot of “Smile!” before the meeting begins.
The nature of Hot Air Balloons corrals strangers into an awe inspiring conference basket for the trip of a lifetime. Balloons fly best just before the sun comes up, they are available near many major cities at a reasonable price, and some of the services offer free hotel pick-up and delivery for your executives.
When the meeting host or hostess is passing out these glorious tickets to ride, remember to have some disposable cameras on hand for your business travelers who did not realize that they needed to pack the camera.
