At the start of a new year, wellness, self-care and restoration often take center stage in our personal and professional lives. Incorporating these elements into a corporate meeting or conference isn’t just a thoughtful touch—it’s a strategic decision that can positively impact attendees and your organization.

Start the day with yoga or stretching.

Don’t let wellness be an afterthought. Build it into your planning from the very beginning. Choosing a destination and venue that prioritizes wellness not only elevates the experience but delivers tangible benefits, including:

  • Enhanced cognitive function: Supporting memory, learning and productivity.
  • Reduced stress: Creating an environment where attendees can absorb and retain more information.
  • Positive organizational image: Demonstrating a commitment to health and well-being enhances your brand and can boost attendance.
  • Healthier food options: Destinations focused on wellness typically feature nutritious, locally sourced meals, leaving attendees energized and motivated.
  • Inspiring spaces: Creative environments foster innovation, collaboration and open communication.

Western Montana offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and wellness-focused amenities to create an unforgettable meeting experience.

Wellness Activities to Incorporate
Western Montana provides countless ways to weave wellness into your agenda:

  • Morning sessions: Start the day with yoga, Zumba or OULA, a high-energy dance workout created by a Missoula local. Morning meditation walks or runs are equally refreshing.
  • Unique workshops: Partner with local artisans for hands-on experiences, like creating lavender sachets at a nearby lavender farm.
  • Interactive team-building: Add fun to your schedule with line-dancing lessons or a guided outdoor adventure.
  • Culinary wellness: Collaborate with catering teams to highlight organic, locally sourced meals. Fresh Flathead cherries, huckleberry smoothies and regional specialties like elk tenderloin and pan-seared trout are crowd-pleasers.
Mornings under Montana’s big sky are a great way to start the day.
