...where we'll WOW you with the huge amount of innovative, unique and fun things you can do when you're not in the boardroom!
It's said Nelson is a 'concentive' destination - a place where conferencing is an incentive. Incorporating activities into your conference programme or business tourism plan will help boost delegate numbers and motivation and make your event memorable.
Consider a delegates wine tour, a winearttour, an art event that involves the team painting fridges as a team building exercise, a golf tournament, kayak trip, a cool quad biking and skywire experience or just a nice spot for some R & R for delegates and accompanying partners.
You could also consider something more adventurous with skydiving, a helicopter trip, an amazing race hidden treasure event or a lazy afternoon out enjoying one of our three magnificent National Parks. Give it a go, we'll help you with your planning!
