The ability to work together effectively is crucial for any organization. And for meeting planners, team building activities are an especially productive way to engage individuals – whether a group of 10, 100 or 1,000 – and foster greater collaboration
and cooperation.
What is Team Building?
Put simply, in the corporate setting of meetings and events, team building is the process of bringing attendees together through various activities to foster
a sense of togetherness and teamwork to improve productivity, communication and other key business functions. Usually separate from education, appointments and other agenda items, team building activities are meant more to bring the group together to
network, socialize and connect on a personal level.
Team building for meeting attendees might look like a CSR activity tied to the event destination or an excursion that takes advantage of the local landscape (e.g. a group hike along the off-the-beaten-path mountains near Jackson Hole, Wyo.).
Depending on the size of your group and the desired outcome of the event, the team building opportunities are virtually endless.
