The Art of the Stay

Choosing the perfect destination for your conference is a balancing act; everyone wants to travel to a locale loaded with attractions and stay at a venue with resort amenities and delicious dining. Those are the wants, of course, but whether or not they fit into the budget is a determining factor in picking the right place. Here are some things to keep in mind when deciding the location for your next conference, and why our upstate New York hotel in Cooperstown is a home run for your attendees.

With so much natural beauty to explore in Cooperstown, visitors can fill their getaway with scenic views and hikes. One of the hidden gems of Cooperstown, Council Rock Park, is just a short walk or bike ride from The Otesaga. For travelers who want to combine a bit of history with their outdoor adventures, a stay at our upstate New York hotel is a must and Council Rock Park a can’t-miss stop on your itinerary.

With all of the details that go into planning your conference (venue, menu, speakers, and more), you want to make sure your event promotion reflects your efforts. Creating an event hashtag is a great option for increasing your visibility, as well as engaging attendees before, during, and after your conference.

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time of year to hit pause on your busy schedule and celebrate the special someone in your life. February in Cooperstown marks the serene season, where the pace slows and the summer and fall crowds have dwindled, making it the perfect spot for a romantic getaway.

The ideal conference is one that leaves attendees recharged and full of new ideas to implement at the office. While you’ve lined up inspirational speakers and filled your itinerary with thought-provoking sessions, you also need to leave time for your participants to step away from what can be an overwhelming few days.
