There are some destinations that immediately make you feel as though you’ve traveled halfway around the world.

Sonoma is one of them. 🍷✨

Rolling vineyards, farm-to-table cuisine, olive groves, and boutique luxury properties combine to create an experience that feels remarkably similar to the Tuscan countryside—without the passport, long-haul flights, or international logistics.

As part of our first A2E Sites Unseen spotlight, we recently explored Sonoma and experienced firsthand why this region is so well suited for leadership retreats, executive meetings, and incentive programs.

Our journey included:
🍇 Dinner among the vineyards at Vina Rosa Resort, where guests were surrounded by sweeping vineyard views and a truly unforgettable setting for an intimate evening.

🫒 An immersive visit to an organic olive oil farm, complete with a tractor tour through the groves, a behind-the-scenes look at the harvesting process, and a tasting of freshly produced oils.

🌲 A guided walk through ancient redwoods, followed by a peaceful yoga session beneath trees that have stood for thousands of years—an awe-inspiring reminder of the power of nature to reset and reconnect.

🧀 A behind-the-scenes visit to a local artisan cheese farm, where we learned how small-batch cheeses are crafted and sampled fresh, locally made specialties.

🥂 A farm-to-table lunch and special wine tasting at Bricoleur Vineyards

🍽️ Dinner at The Matheson, one of Healdsburg’s most sought-after culinary destinations, is known for its vibrant atmosphere and exceptional locally inspired cuisine.

We also toured standout boutique properties including Farmhouse Inn and Restaurant, Vinarosa Resort & Spa, and The Madrona — each offering a distinct sense of place and ideal for smaller, highly curated programs.

If you’re looking to design an experience that feels both elevated and deeply authentic, Sonoma is a destination worth exploring.

We’d be happy to share more in-depth details about the properties and experiences that stood out to us and how Sonoma can be thoughtfully tailored for your next program or gathering.

Last week, the A2E team got together for an in-person✨ gathering in Fort Lauderdale, FL. 🌴 Since we work remotely, the face-to-face time outside of on-site events is something we truly cherish.

We decided to make our time there as productive as possible by combining our team meeting with a stay (site visit) at the Omni Hotels & Resorts, Fort Lauderdale. This stunning new property is connected to a large-scale convention center, which quickly impressed us as a top destination for future meetings and events.

This trip gave our remote team the chance to spend meaningful time together in person, with team members traveling in from California, Texas, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York, and others joining virtually along the way.

We spent time sharing ideas, discussing how we can continue to show up for our client partners at the highest level, and, most of all, enjoying each other's company.

One question guided the theme of our time together: “How do we want our clients to think of us?” The answers: approachable, dedicated, dynamic, thoughtful, and outcome-driven.

We left Fort Lauderdale refreshed, re-energized, and excited to get back to work as an even stronger team! 🙌

We are heading to Scottsdale later this month for the IRF Invitational, and this one is especially relevant.

Not just because of the conversations and connections, but because we’ll experience the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess in exactly the same way as our clients do.

There’s a big difference between touring a property and seeing it in action.
Seeing how the flow works, how service shows up, and how spaces actually feel when they’re filled with people, energy, and programming.

This is the kind of insight that doesn’t come from a brochure or a quick site visit—and it’s exactly what helps us guide clients to the right decisions (not just the pretty ones). We’ll be there with a sharp eye on:

👉 General session flow & scalability
👉 Service & operational ex*****on
👉 What truly elevates the attendee experience vs. what just looks good on paper

If you have a meeting or initiative coming up that you'd like us to keep in mind while we’re there, let us know! We’ll be sourcing with intention. 😎 [email protected]

Happy Meeting Planners Appreciation Day! To the planners, producers, and behind-the-scenes pros who make it all happen. 💪

This industry isn't for the faint-hearted. The day-to-day is typically filled with small details, big demands, and constant problem-solving to bring people together in thoughtful, intentional ways. So today, this one’s for you.

To the ones who have a backup plan for… the backup plan.

To the ones answering emails at 11:52 PM because ‘one last thing’ came in.

To the ones who haven’t sat down in 10 hours (you get it).

To the ones who create experiences that leave a lasting impact on their audiences.

We see you, we appreciate you, we… are you 😅. And most of all, we’re proud to be in the industry alongside you!

It’s Earth Day 🌎, and we’re using it as a reminder to consider how we can be more intentional in the way we design and execute events and initiatives.

At A2E, sustainability isn’t about doing everything. It’s about making thoughtful choices wherever it makes the most sense.

From reducing printed materials to reusing supplies and donating locally, we look for small ways to make a meaningful impact, without compromising the experience. At the same time, we’ve had the opportunity to support sustainability-focused initiatives for our client partners—ensuring responsible practices are considered not just at the event level, but across the full scope of what we deliver.

Because if we’re going to stand behind our promise to design thoughtful events, we believe that should show up in every sense of the word. Happy Earth Day. 🌿

Want your end-of-year meeting or holiday celebration to look a little like this? ❄️✨Then now’s the time to start planning.

Here’s the reality: the most memorable end-of-year gatherings are the result of early (hello, April) and intentional planning. And in this industry, early means 6 months to 1 year. It also means:

Access to first-choice venuesPreferred dates Early bird deals and better pricing Creative flexibility
Last season, we facilitated a global meeting in Dallas at , where guests took full advantage of a magical winter village and festive details in every corner.

But hosting such a large group in a venue like this wasn’t luck. It was timing.

If you’re thinking about a holiday event or end-of-year initiative for 2026, now is the moment to start the conversation! Book a complimentary 30-minute brainstorming session with our team, and let’s build something unforgettable. ✨ (Link in bio!)

✨ Every venue we’ve visited this year has felt worthy of the number one spot on our list of destinations. And yet, each place we go continues to outdo the last!

This week we’re in Sonoma, CA, at the beautiful and once again… it’s setting the standard for what the perfect destination looks like for bringing our client partners and their teams together.

ASCRS season is upon us! 💥

We’ll soon be en route to Washington, D.C., for this year's hashtag annual meeting, where we won’t just be attending, but facilitating multiple engagement initiatives (which is much more exciting).

The A2E network will have a strong presence this year, as we’ll be in attendance alongside several client partners, helping facilitate advisory boards, roundtables, panel discussions, and more.

This year's theme, “From Insights to Impact,” already has us buzzing, as it’s one we feel perfectly embodies the work we do: creating environments where insights into emerging products and technologies can translate into impactful, high-quality patient care.

Though it will be a busy one, we want to CONNECT!

Let us know if you’ll be attending. 👇

This week has been dubbed World Optometry Week 👁️ by The World Council of Optometry, and we’re proud to use it as an opportunity to recognize all the outstanding clinicians we work with across the industry. From our own client partners to our broader network of industry peers, this week is about acknowledging all you do for the health of your communities. We’re proud to play a small role in it. 👏

It’s also a moment to highlight what people don’t always see… Beyond vision testing, ocular disease management, and patient care, there are meetings that inspire innovation, collaboration, and education, constantly driving the future of eye care.

At A2E, we help create the spaces where those conversations happen. That’s why World Optometry Week matters so much to us. 💪
