Posted on | by Joe Mo | Leave a Comment on New South Roadshow Nashville – who wants to win a stay at The Preserve Sporting Club?

We have been focusing on the venues of our upcoming roadshow but we realize there’s one more big reason you should consider attending our luxury destination showcases next week… door prizes!

When you arrive at our event, we’ll ask you to drop your business card into a basket from which we’ll draw winners for spectacular travel packages and other goodies from our generous hotel partners. Let’s have a look at a prize from our first stop in Nashville.

The Preserve Sporting Club – Richmond, Rhode Island

Set on 3500 picturesque acres in Richmond, Rhode Island, The Preserve Sporting Club is like an adult summer camp with its outdoor-centric but fully contained luxury experience. With four seasons of activities, from summer activities like golf and tennis and kayaking to experiences that take you thru the shoulder seasons like fly fishing, horseback riding, and shooting clays thru the winter months like cross country skiing and the spa.

This sporting club offers a variety of room options from lodge rooms to luxury homes. With plenty of space to spread out bringing a group here is a no brainer whether it’s a retreat or a board meeting. There is something to keep everyone active and social.

Unique settings call for unique dining experiences like the Maker’s Mark Hobbit House, a Tolkien-inspired cabin serving up wild game paired with the famous bourbon, making it a perfect photo op.

This door prize includes a one night stay for two plus an activity of their choice. The hardest part of all? Deciding what you will do with all this space and fresh air.

We’re in! How about you? Don’t forget to bring your business cards to this one! See you Monday in Nashville!

Venue Spotlight: Stop #3 on the New South Roadshow – Roaring Social, Alpharetta, Georgia

Retreats Resources brings the Roadshow to you, but did you know we select the host venues with an experience in mind for every Meeting Planner and Event Specialist who attends. Let’s start with a little background on our third and final stop on the New South Roadshow: Roaring Social in suburban Atlanta.

We are seeing the meetings and events industry come ROARING back, and we are just loving that theme for this Roadshow. Roaring Social is a 20s themed speakeasy located in The Hamilton Hotel, which is part of the Curio Collection by Hilton, in the popular Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta.

Then:

With a whispered secret password (speaking easy so as not to be overheard), doors opened to a world where whiskey and moonshine flowed freely and prohibition was nothing but a dirty word. Roaring Social brought exuberance, entertainment and good times to the Roaring 1920s.

Now:

With a nod to its infamous past, revelers enter the respectable storefront of RoSo Clothiers. Those in the know will find the secret password, a password opening an unassuming door to unexpected delights.

As you sink into velvet sofas you will swear you hear the whispered conversations, laughter and strains of music of a bygone era…or maybe that’s just us celebrating the present day Roaring (20)20s.

We look forward to welcoming you to Alpharetta and Roaring Social and the third and final stop on the New South Roadshow!

Venue Spotlight: Stop #2 on the New South Roadshow – Dread River Distillery, Birmingham, Alabama

Retreats Resources brings the Roadshow to you, but did you know we select the host venues with an experience in mind for every Meeting Planner and Event Specialist who attends. Let’s start with a little background on our second stop on the New South Roadshow: Dread River Distillery in Birmingham.

Keeping with the theme of the events industry coming ROARING back in the (20)20s…. we are hitting up a distillery on our next stop. Dread River spirits are created for those inspired by the journey, the perfect fit for the travel and events industry. They are currently distilling small batches of Bourbon, Whiskey, Rye, Vodka, Gin, Rum and Blue Agave, which makes this the perfect next stop on our Prohibition themed tour.

Come, take a journey down the mystic Dread River…

The design concept for Dread River Distilling Company reflects the company’s brand, which references an ancient tale of an underground mystic river, flowing beneath the streets of Birmingham, large enough for steam vessels to traverse, and from which Dread River sources its main ingredient, water.
The manufacturing space design engages the company branding while providing an efficient production layout for the distillery and embracing natural light and ventilation.

The tasting room design reflects the depth and darkness of this mystic river. The unique vibe of each colorful lounge room reflects the unforeseen nature of a journey down this mystic river, so as guests move throughout the bar, the experience is ever-changing, similar to one’s journey down “Dread River”.

And as event professionals….we know a thing or two about ever-changing….

We look forward to welcoming you to Birmingham and Dread River Distillery and the second stop on the New South Roadshow!
