Conferences and Meetings
Whether it's the annual retreat for your 30 regional directors or your "Leaders of Tomorrow" week for more than 600 active teens, let us host your next event.
You need a site that's convenient to the airport and the trains, yet beautiful, serene, and safe. You need multi-media classrooms, satellite video conferencing, and computers, all online.
An Olympic-size pool and tennis courts would be really nice. Good food and accessibility for the disabled goes without saying. HR says they need an outdoor challenge course for a team-building exercise they have in mind.
Some people say they want to kayak after dinner. Some say they want to be no more than ten minutes from museums, the symphony, a shopping mall, or maybe a basketball game. And the whole group wants to be able to check their email. The Special Events Staff at Springfield College can help.
We're the small-town campus, in the middle of the city. We're hi-tech, and low-key. We like kids and teens, and host thousands of them at our sports camps each summer. On the other hand, we're also the host site for the Massachusetts Senior Games.
Our college educates the men and women who lead corporate team-building and challenge course programs across the nation, and we're happy to arrange to share our ropes course and the staff with you. Air-conditioned suites, or dormitory-style rooms. Midnight munchies service. Indoor Olympic pool. A court for a sport. Playing fields. Gyms. A lake. And all the recreational wonders of the Pioneer Valley awaiting.
Springfield College Special Events will help you host an event that exceeds your expectations.
