PLANNING A CORPORATE MEETING IN TRAVERSE CITY, MI 

Planning a corporate meeting is a complex process requiring a high attention to detail, but finding the perfect location makes it all worth it. Only a short drive from downtown Traverse City and Cherry Capital Airport (TVC), Grand Traverse Resort and Spa is the ideal destination for a corporate event of any size. From selecting the right venue to advising on the surrounding area, our team of experienced meeting planners will guide you through every step of the process. Explore what makes an event at the Resort unquestionably unique and convenient by taking that next step and booking your meeting

Find a Venue That Fits Your Unique Meeting Needs

Grand Traverse Resort and Spa is home to over 20 different indoor and outdoor venues, each with unique flair and advantages. The space your group will be spending their days in is crucial to a successful event. We’ve broken down our tips for choosing the perfect venue based on the size and the goal of your corporate meeting. 

Venues for Large Events & Conferences 

If you’re planning a large corporate event or conference, the Resort can accommodate groups of up to 2,500. The largest of conferences can be held in the expansive ballrooms and halls of our multi-level facility. We recommend our Governor’s Hall on the lower level, the lobby level’s Michigan Ballroom, and our transformable exhibit hall spaces for events with high numbers of attendees. Our accommodations and amenities allow for collaboration and comfort among conference goers. The conference services team will be there every step of the way of your event, ensuring that everything from audio and visual to gifts for the group is taken care of. 

Venues for Small to Midsize Events 

 Looking for the perfect destination for a small team retreat or event? Look no further than Grand Traverse Resort and Spa. The Resort offers private boardrooms like the Club Room at the top of our Tower or our lobby level Northwoods Boardroom for small to mid-sized groups. From food to event setup, we’ll take care of the details. Make your event a fully immersive experience for the group by planning team outings at one of the Resort’s many on-site amenities or taking the team off property to explore Traverse City. 

Plan Your Event From Start to Finish 

The convenience of staying steps away from your meeting space not only makes for a smooth planning process as a meeting planner, but also makes for a seamless meeting experience for the whole group. Guests can stay in either our newly renovated Hotel rooms or enjoy views of Grand Traverse Bay from a Tower room. Plus, our dining options on property allow your team to unwind after a day of conference activities. 

Enjoy Team Building Activities

For smaller events or company retreats, there are countless opportunities for team building on property. Book golf, spa treatments, axe throwing, and more to organize an unforgettable team getaway. Or, treat the team to dinner at Aerie Restaurant & Lounge, our fine dining restaurant located on the 16th floor of the Tower. 

Explore Traverse City During Your Corporate Event

Traverse City offers an unmatched Northern Michigan experience during every season. If your meeting is in the summer, explore local wineries, beaches, golf, and more during conference free time. In the fall, you’ll be surrounded by breathtaking views of the fall foliage, with great hiking opportunities near the Resort. There are even activities in the peak of winter; from winter golf to spa treatments, there is truly an activity for anyone.
