The Offsite Playbook: How HR Leaders Can Design and Deliver High-Impact Team Events
  • Tuesday, Oct 610:00 AM - 11:00 AM PDT
    Elizabethan A/B
Most team offsites are planned on instinct rather than strategy, producing forgettable events that fail to move the needle on collaboration, alignment, or morale. HR and L&D leaders are increasingly tasked with designing these experiences with limited time, inconsistent leadership support, and no reliable framework. This session provides a practical playbook for planning offsites that create measurable impact. Dave Collins and Arun Bedi draw from delivering custom offsites for Google, Nike, Visa, Salesforce, Dell, and Chick-fil-A to share a framework covering stakeholder alignment, agenda design, engagement, facilitation, and post-event follow-through. Through partner exercises, attendees will apply a structured needs assessment, design agendas that balance content with interaction, and build accountability mechanisms that extend impact beyond the event. Leave with a customizable offsite planning toolkit and confidence to design your next team event from the ground up.
