Historic Sites for Meetings


Meetings take place for the central purpose of advancing an organization’s goals, but planners are realizing more and more that other objectives come into play.


In the post-recession age, where budgets are scru- tinized and there are concerns about events being wasteful, organizers and attendees are seeking programs to include cultural, environ- mental, and charitable impacts. This grows from an emphasis being placed on corporate social responsibility.


When choosing a historic site for your meeting or event, you are allowing attendees to enjoy a cul- tural experience while enriching their knowledge of the city or region. In the ever-changing land- scape of restaurants, hotels, concert halls and museums, many historic venues wind up over- looked and “off the radar.”


Newer is not always better, and historic venues add their own special charm to events. So you can make your meeting even more memorable by holding it at a unique historic site.
