Dream Bigger with Corporate-Team-Building Bay Area Experts
After months of remote work, team building and in-person corporate events are more important than ever. When you’re thinking about your corporate retreat, it’s important to plan for the right mix of business, activities and down-time.
Our event experts are there every step of the way to create an unforgettable team gathering – whether it’s a dinner, team building exercises, a cruise on one of our yachts or a combination of all of the above. Our team is here to help you develop each of the following:
The Goal
There are many benefits of a corporate retreat or event. But in order to maximize its impact, you need to identify your primary goal.
There are four main areas in which you can set goals for company outings. Your corporate retreat can incorporate aspects of all four, but you should know which one is most important.
Morale
The past couple years have been hard. De-stress and re-energize with first-class, safe, face-to-face events that foster corporate spirit.
Connection
Safely break down social distance within your company. Focus on teamwork and relationship-building.
Inspiration
Create a unique space either indoors or outdoors for education, creativity and reflection.
Leadership
Reinvigorate your executives or leadership team, reconnecting the whole organization to its mission and vision for the future.
The Framework
You’ll need to establish a framework for the event. Answer these questions.
- When?
- How many people for how long?
- Hybrid or fully in-person?
It’s always good to outline any hard requirements you want at the outset. You also might consider whether you want to be indoors or outdoors.
It has become more and more popular for companies to host an outdoor corporate retreat. California sunshine makes it easy to sprawl in the garden or even on the Giants’ own field.
The Concept
It’s time to put “goal” and “framework” together and come up with your base-level concept. Think about the mood you want to foster. Are you looking for an intimate gathering or an all-out extravaganza?
Define the heart of the affair. It could be:
- An intimate presentation or a bigger panel of experts
- A creative workshop
- A cocktail reception
- A fun competition or relaxing exercise
Once you have the parameters, you can start building your one-of-a-kind event.
The true magic of Oracle Park is your ability to mix business with pleasure. Elevate an ordinary business meeting into a true event by adding on a trip to the batting tunnels and bullpens or a tour around the venue.
The Event
Whether it’s an employee appreciation night or an industry conference, swing for the fences with Giants Enterprises.
Take something ordinary and make it extraordinary with creative touches, versatile spaces and pure indulgence. Play some ball in our batting cages, or have a company whiteboarding session in our own Baseball Hall of Fame. Enjoy sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay from our club level or actually set sail on one of two luxury yachts.
Even better, craft a corporate retreat that moves through and combines different settings and functions. Our team has put together every kind of event. We understand how to set the stage for any experience, and we welcome challenges. If you talk to us about the journey you envision, we can guide you and your guests through it.
Many organizations choose our versatile Club Level or one of our Luxury Suites as a main base of operations for their corporate retreat. The Club Level can also accommodate those who prefer the open air; its two large terraces allow outdoor gatherings, perfect for enjoying the sunset. Or enjoy one of several new or expanded outdoor venues such as The Dugout, Garden and 415 Platform.
Curate Experiences with Diverse and Dynamic Corporate Event Venues
Remote teams rely on a variety of tools to stay connected at work. But there is a special kind of magic that happens when teams come together for a corporate retreat.
Take inspiration for your upcoming event from just a few of the exclusive spaces Oracle Park offers. Our facilities offer scalable solutions for every aspect of your retreat.
Oracle Field
In a remarkable portfolio, there’s nothing more special than Giants Field itself.
Set your keynote speaker up on the field with our state of the art lighting and sound and follow it up with a black-tie dinner in the dugout.
Practice working together with games and group challenges before you
The Garden
Our newly reimagined Garden area in Center Field provides a unique mix of covered outdoor space to take care of business, have some fun and everything in between.
The San Francisco Giants Clubhouse
Underscore teamwork with a strategy session or executive dinner in The Giants Clubhouse. Host out-of-town VIPs in the ultimate local hangout, or honor their Away status by taking over the Visitors Clubhouse.
Executive Suites
Conduct your next board meeting in one of more than 60 luxury suites with the latest amenities and AV equipment. Better yet, book them as breakout spaces for your corporate event — and put the “treat” in “retreat.”
The Gotham Clubhouse and Gameroom
If your vision involves an exclusive hideaway in the heart of the stadium, look no further than The Gotham Clubhouse with its lavish bar and elegant dining room. Add on The Gotham Gameroom with bowling, billiards and refined play for all those who love the games but don’t often take the time to enjoy them.
California Spirit and Diamond Seas
Explore the beauties of San Francisco from the comfort of a luxury yacht. Our fleet can host a variety of excursions. California Spirit offers a top-notch reception space, and Diamond Seas will take you and your guests on a deluxe private cruise.
Go from land to water or vice versa by pairing a boat ride with one of our other experiences.
Make Memories with Giants Enterprises
You can host a dinner at any restaurant in town. But only Giants Enterprises can set you inside the historic baseball franchise for extravagance and elegance.
Book the Field for your keynote event, then have the run of a dozen other venues — yachts, a museum, private clubs, suites and more — for meals, breakouts, large receptions and intimate gatherings. Let your imagination run wild.
Giants Enterprise is more than just a collection of first-class spaces and rare amenities. We partner with organizations around the world to create epic events wherever they’re happening.
In 2022, corporate retreats can offer in-person teams a chance to get away and remote teams a chance to get together. The last couple of years have been rough, but they’ve also provided all of us with opportunities for reflection and change. We have a new appreciation for live events, but also for inclusivity. No matter your needs, we can tailor a retreat that reinvigorates your organization and sets you up for the years to come.
