A business retreat doesn’t have to be all meetings and meeting rooms.

For a programme in Rome, we created space for wellbeing, discovery and genuine team connection alongside the business agenda.

Every morning started with yoga, jogging or Tai Chi, giving guests time to move, recharge and begin the day with fresh energy.

Rome was part of the experience:

-A bike tour offered an active, more sustainable way to discover the city together, away from the usual transfers and tourist routes.

-We opened the doors to somewhere guests would be unlikely to discover on their own: Casa Litta – Orsini, home to the Embassy of the Order of Malta to the Holy See since 1994. Following its restoration completed in 2024, the historic residence once again reveals its remarkable interiors, from fine marble and tapestries to 17th-century tables and impressive chandeliers.

This reflects one of the principles we value most at Italian Special Occasions: using local knowledge to create experiences that surprise guests and reveal a side of the destination they wouldn’t normally see.

A successful business retreat isn’t only about what happens during the meetings. It’s also about how people feel, connect and experience the destination together.

What happens when music, art and a beautiful Italian setting come together? 🎨

A live performance becomes the inspiration for an artist, capturing the atmosphere of the moment on paper.

It's these unexpected connections between different forms of creativity that we love bringing into the events we design.

At Italian Special Occasions, we believe the best experiences are those that invite guests to discover something new, engage with local talent and see a destination from a different perspective.

Because sometimes, the most memorable part of an event is something you didn't expect.

Can business events help make tourism less seasonal? And could wellbeing become a bigger part of how we bring people together?

Two interesting perspectives from the October edition of "MICE & TOURISM around the World" Magazine caught our attention.

The first is the need to rethink the traditional events calendar. Rather than concentrating activity around the same busy periods and destinations, the industry has an opportunity to develop smaller, more targeted events in regional locations and during quieter months.

We strongly agree. Spreading events throughout the year can support local businesses, create more consistent opportunities for suppliers and help destinations benefit from tourism beyond the peak season.

The second is the growing importance of wellness tourism, particularly as professionals look for ways to manage stress, reconnect and find a better balance.

For corporate event planners, this opens up interesting possibilities. A retreat doesn't necessarily need a packed agenda to be productive. Time outdoors, opportunities for genuine conversation and moments away from everyday routines can be just as valuable.

Of course, there are challenges. Convincing clients to look beyond familiar destinations and traditional event dates isn't always easy. And incorporating wellbeing into a programme requires more than simply adding a yoga session.

Both trends point towards the same opportunity: designing events around what people and destinations actually need, rather than following established habits.

Some places preserve their heritage by keeping it untouched. Others keep it alive by giving it a new purpose.

Feudo San Pietro, in Sicily, belongs to the second kind.

Over the years, we have watched this historic place evolve into something more than a beautiful venue: a space where local culture, creativity, education and community can meet.

The latest chapter is the inauguration of the Creative Italy Academy, created by our partner Creative Italy: a place dedicated to Italian saper fare — the knowledge and skills passed down through craftsmanship, practice and human connection.

Here, disciplines such as ceramics, bobbin lace and natural perfumery become opportunities to learn, create and connect. And the same philosophy can inspire meaningful team-building experiences, where working with your hands encourages people to communicate differently, collaborate, slow down and solve problems together.

For Italian Special Occasions, this is also what sustainability means.

Not simply reducing impact, but giving new relevance to existing places, supporting local knowledge and creating reasons for traditions to continue into the future.

Heritage is not only something we inherit. It is something we choose to carry forward.

What if your next team-building experience started with an Italian tradition?

From ceramics in Sicily to truffle hunting in Piedmont, local traditions can help corporate teams communicate better, build trust, work through challenges and find new ways of working together.

The real value comes from connecting the experience to your team’s objectives.

Will 2027 be the year companies start asking harder questions about their events?

An interesting outlook from Converve on MICE Tourism Trends for 2027 suggests so.

With event costs continuing to rise, the question is increasingly shifting from “How much does this event cost?” to “What are we getting back from it?”

At Italian Special Occasions, we believe this conversation needs to start well before an event takes place: with its purpose.

Why are you bringing these people together? What should be different when they leave? And does the destination, venue and programme actually support that objective?

Another trend highlighted by Converve is that attendees are becoming more selective. Bigger isn't necessarily better. People increasingly need a compelling reason to give an event their time.

For us, this reinforces the importance of experiences that create genuine opportunities to connect: the right setting, meaningful team activities, encounters with local people and culture, and enough space in the programme for conversations to happen naturally.

And then there is sustainability.

Converve describes a shift from pledges to a rulebook: broad sustainability claims are giving way to greater expectations around evidence, measurement and documentation.

This is perhaps one of the developments we welcome most.

Choosing the low season, working with local suppliers, bringing events to lesser-known destinations, supporting artisans and communities, considering how guests travel and selecting venues with credible practices are concrete choices — not adjectives to add to an event description.

Technology will continue to change our industry. AI will become more embedded in areas such as attendee matchmaking, too.

But perhaps the bigger shift for 2027 is much more human: events will increasingly have to demonstrate why bringing people together was worth it.

And that is a very good question for our industry to be asking.

When planning an offsite in Italy, it’s tempting to start with a beautiful hotel, add a few experiences and build an itinerary around them.

We prefer to start somewhere else: what does the team actually need from this time together?

For one American group, this meant designing a 10-day journey through Northern Italy around connection, authenticity, seasonality and a slower way of experiencing the destination.

Instead of staying in Venice, we based the group in nearby Mogliano Veneto, at historic Villa Condulmer — away from the busiest tourist flows, but still connected to the city.

And rather than simply transferring guests into Venice for sightseeing, we approached the city differently: travelling slowly along the Sile River and Venetian Lagoon, discovering Torcello and lesser-known corners before returning by boat beneath the evening sky.

Later in the journey, we chose Lake Iseo rather than the more obvious Lake Garda. Here, w**e tasting in Franciacorta, hiking and e-biking gave the group different ways to spend time together — around a table, outdoors and on the move.

Even Lake Como felt different when experienced in the quieter low season.

None of these choices were about avoiding Italy’s famous places just for the sake of being different.

They answered practical questions that matter when designing a retreat:

How do you create space for people to actually talk?
How do you balance shared experiences with time to recharge?
How can you experience an iconic destination without being overwhelmed by it?
And how can the retreat connect with the places and communities hosting it?

A corporate retreat shouldn’t simply take your team somewhere new.

It should create the conditions for them to experience something new — together.

Not everything called “team building” actually builds a team.

For us, a meaningful team-building experience starts by giving people something real to do together.

Not simply an activity designed to fill two hours in an itinerary, but a shared challenge that takes people outside their usual roles.

Learning a traditional craft from an artisan. Cooking together. Creating something with your hands. Exploring a landscape on foot. Meeting the people who keep a local tradition alive.

These experiences naturally create moments where colleagues have to listen, communicate, help each other, make mistakes and find solutions together.

And something else happens too: the destination becomes part of the experience.

That’s why, whenever possible, we design team building around the place hosting the event: its people, traditions, landscape and knowledge.

The team goes home having shared something new. And the destination benefits from an event that engages with it rather than simply passing through.

For us, that’s where team building and responsible event design naturally meet.

Venue selection should come after understanding the event, not before.

Does the place support the reason you are bringing everyone together?

At Italian Special Occasions, when we visit venues across Italy, we look beyond architecture and beautiful views.

We consider accessibility, accommodation, capacity, logistics, seasonality, sustainability, local suppliers and the surrounding destination.

Sometimes the right answer is a famous Italian city.

Sometimes it’s a historic residence, a countryside estate or a small town your guests may never have heard of.

The goal isn’t to find the most impressive venue. It’s to find the place that makes sense for your event.

And that starts with asking the right questions. Swipe through ➡️
