Roadshow Life: Making Connections Over Good Food and Good Deeds

If you know us you know we love good food! Each Roadshow event takes in to careful consideration a curated dining experience for our attendees and hotel partners.

Depending on the region we are in, of course, you may find yourself having a fine dining experience with us, or grazing on a beautiful mezze board or sampling a full plant-based meal to stuffing yourself with comfort food. One thing we know is no one walks away hungry from our Roadshow events! Food is one of our favorite experiences to bring you when you attend. There’s nothing like good conversation over good food!

You know what else we do well and love to do?
Give back.

Thanks to our generous hotel partners we have been able to auction off incredible travel packages at each of our recent Roadshows. Our fabulous meeting and event planner attendees then get the opportunity to bid on these travel packages during the travel showcase. Some of them are once in a life time trips!

The money from those auctions then goes to one of our favorite charities, Wine to Water, who this year, in a time of desperate need, has a fund to help people in Ukraine.

To date, in 2022, Retreats Resources has proudly raised and donated $42,000 for the Wine to Water Ukraine Fund! Thanks to our extremely giving family of hotel partners and meeting planners.

You make us proud every day we get to do something like this and give back.

To everyone who has joined us in 2022 so far…Thank you!
