Las Vegas has never been just a destination; it’s a world built for connection, creativity, and impact.

Oh San Francisco, city by the Bay. Not only is this the Bash Creative home base, but it is home to some of the countries most memorable events. This is a city where venues boast floor to ceiling windows, cocktail parties to be remembered, and event spaces like no other.

Whether you’re hosting a multi-day conference or a one-night gala, keeping attendees engaged requires intentional programming and thoughtful pacing. It’s about creating a flow that energizes your audience, fosters connection, and leaves them inspired.

For a few years, post-pandemic event planning timelines became a bit like the Wild West. Things were changing in the corporate world so frequently that many companies were waiting until the very last second to pull the trigger on hosting an event. However, the wind has changed and it is no longer advantageous to make these decisions last minute.
Planning a corporate event is an intricate journey with distinct stages, each crucial to the event’s overall success. Whether it’s a large-scale conference or an intimate company retreat, understanding that there is a lifecycle of an event helps ensure every detail is meticulously planned and executed. Let’s walk through the key phases that bring a corporate event to life.

Let's talk retreats. You know the drill: sun, sand, and endless cocktails. It’s a classic formula, and there’s a reason it’s popular. But let me ask you this: is that really what your team needs? Is that what you need? Let's explore some exceptional destinations that could be the perfect backdrop for your next retreat.
In today's corporate landscape, budget cuts are a common challenge, leading to fewer events and making it essential that chosen events deliver high value and serve multiple purposes. This raises a critical question we often workshop with our clients: “Which events are crucial to our company’s culture and align with our business goals?”
Event strategy often happens internally within a company, involving key stakeholders and team members responsible for executing the vision. From our experience, many companies spend little time delving into the “why” and “how” of their planned events.
Venue sourcing can be a tricky task when planning your event. At first, it seems straight forward: a quick Google Maps search, polling your friends and colleagues for recommendations, and consulting your favorite hotel brand to have them hand-pick the best destinations from their portfolio. Sure, all of this is part of the process. However, if you are not prepared with the right questions, event details, or negotiation skills, it can quickly become overwhelming.
At Bash, we feel that instead of removing the summertime social engagement, try taking a different perspective at boosting mid-year morale with an alternative format for your team centered around intentionality and inclusivity.
