Smart Meetings
Tee Off & Kick Back By: Steve Winston By now, you know that meetings at golf, spa and hot spring resorts tend to draw more attendees. They offer a refreshing atmosphere, often in scenic or unusual settings where attendees enjoy activities, experiences and informal networking opportunities not available in more traditional settings. The 20th century saw scores of notable golf resorts spring up across the country, followed in short by scores of spa resorts – and then scores of resorts featuring both. We’ll likely never know who came up with the brilliant idea of holding meetings at these resorts, but whoever it was is owed a tremendous debt of gratitude by today’s meeting planners. That person helped take business gatherings out of hum-drum conference rooms and onto the links – allowing meetings to transform into experiences.
In the picturesque southeastern corner of Wisconsin, Lake Geneva has been a popular resort area for U.S. travelers since the late-19th century . It catapulted into international prominence in 1968, when Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner opened a Playboy Club resort on the lake – transforming a bucolic little town into a magnet for Hollywood glitterati. Grand Geneva Resort & Spa came along in 1994. It has an extensive golf education program, along with two championship courses. The Highlands course is a Scottish-style set of links originally designed by Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye, while the appropriately named Brute course runs for more than 7,000 yards – with 68 bunkers to further increase the challenge. “Having a variety of recreational opportunities at your meeting is crucial,” says Leslie Johnson, director of sales and marketing at Grand Geneva. “Incorporating golf and spa is ideal for creating team-building activities and leisure. Golf, of course, is also a great way to connect with a client or colleague on a personal level and it really does help build relationships. And with activities such as golf and spa to enjoy after the meetings, you can count on an enthusiastic, cohesive group.”

Meetings Today
Road to Success By: Maria Lenhart With regional meetings on the upswing, gas prices dropping and air service to smaller airports on the decline, a variety of forces are aligning to encourage the drive-to meeting. Grand Geneva Resort, Lake Geneva, Wis. In the upper Midwest, the Grand Geneva Resort in Lake Geneva, Wis., is a popular getaway for meeting groups seeking a laid-back lakeside environment within easy driving distance of several metro regions. “We do a great mix of association and corporate business for drive-in meetings because we’re so centrally located from Chicago and Milwaukee, ” says Lauren Vernick, director of group sales for Grand Geneva Resort. “We’re just a 45-minute drive from the Chicago suburbs where a lot of corporate business is headquartered.” Not surprisingly, the resort promotes its locale heavily to regional associations, where attendees may be driving from as far afield as Minnesota, Iowa and Indiana. “From a lot of these places, it’s no more than a three- or four-hour ride to get here,” Vernick says. “It’s more relaxing than flying – and there’s not a lot of traffic heading into Lake Geneva.” The resort also emphasizes its relative affordability for a drive-to. “Unlike a downtown destination, we offer complimentary self-parking and have lots of it,” she says. “Even if we have multiple groups coming in at the same time, we can get creative with overflow parking, even using our airstrip.” Set on 1,300 acres, the 355-room resort offers a full four-seasons roster of activities and amenities, including golf, a water park, horseback riding, volleyball, tennis, cross-country skiing and sledding.
