Meeting attendees using exciting team building activities like tubing down the Delaware River, shopping in Peddler’s Village, rock climbing,bowling at Bowlero or axe throwing at Stumpy's Hatchet House! 

4. Follow an agenda

Prepare for the day with an agenda so you can manage the group’s time and schedule breaks for off-topic conversations so the meeting stays focused.

5. Follow up, follow up, follow up

Take notes and follow-up with attendees after the event using a survey to find out what worked and what you can do differently next time.
