Please describe a past program that you feel typifies the business opportunity you represent for our partners:

I plan two major programs each year that reflect the type of business we represent:

Executive Program: 3 days / 2 nights for Partners, Managing Directors, and Directors with guests (15 rooms, ~30 total guests). Typically held between May–July in Napa Valley. Most recently hosted at Bardessono Hotel & Spa.

All-Hands Program: 2 days / 1 night for all employees with guests (60–90 rooms, ~100–150 total guests). Typically held between April–June in Napa Valley. Past venues include Silverado Resort and Hotel Villagio/Vintage House at The Estate Yountville.

Please share with us an opportunity you are currently working on:

All-hands meeting planned for April–June 2026.
Guests/Rooms: 80 guests, 80 rooms
Length: 2 days / 1 night
Destinations Under Consideration: Sonoma Valley, Napa Valley, Dana Point
Program Type: All-hands meeting (internal conference)
Approximate Room Budget: $450–$650 per night

We have roughly half of our staff in our Northern California headquarters and the other half spread across Southern California, the Pacific Northwest, Texas, New York, and Boston, with the second-highest concentration in Southern California. We try to select a location where the largest number of employees are based so that only half of the staff need to fly in, which is why we are focused on Northern California and Dana Point.

The program would include lunch and meeting sessions on day one, followed by an evening reception and dinner, and a group breakfast and potential activity on the second morning. One important limitation is that our insurance prohibits more than four people in a single vehicle (including charter buses), so dinners and activities must be proximate to the host hotel.

In what locales have you found the greatest program successes?
Typical duration of meeting or incentive program. (number of nights):
Level of luxury you expect for your most important programs: Mid-level Luxury: ($350-$500 per night), Luxury: ($500-$700 per night), Super Luxury/Exclusive ($700+ per night)

If money were no object, I would: quit my day job, travel the world to take baking and cooking classes and open up a bakery
