Planning a company event in Arizona

Arizona is one of the main resort destinations in the US for company meetings and incentive trips, especially from autumn to spring. Large resorts around Scottsdale and Phoenix combine meeting space, golf and spa, while Sedona and Tucson suit smaller groups looking for open country.

When to go

Autumn, winter and spring are the meeting season in the low desert, and the best resorts book early for those months. Late winter and spring also bring baseball training camps and big sporting events to the Phoenix area, which fill hotels. Summer is very hot, and some resorts offer lower rates then.

Getting the team there

Phoenix Sky Harbor has direct flights from most large US cities and some international routes, and the Scottsdale resorts are a short transfer from it. Tucson International serves southern Arizona. Sedona is a drive north from Phoenix, so plan a coach.

Resorts built for groups

Many Scottsdale and Phoenix resorts have ballrooms, breakout rooms and lawns for outdoor dinners, with golf courses and spas on site. Sedona and Tucson have smaller resorts and ranches, better suited to leadership retreats and teams that want to stay together.

Activities and practicalities

Jeep tours in the red rocks, desert hikes at sunrise, hot-air balloons, golf and horse riding on a ranch are typical. Most of Arizona does not move its clocks in summer, which matters when scheduling calls with other states. Plan sessions early in the day when it is warm.
