Summer on the Road with Cadence: Highlights from Our FAM Trips and Events
This summer has been truly exhilarating for our team at Cadence! We’ve participated in familiarization (FAM) trips, attended functions with industry partners, and hosted client events, making it a busy and productive season. Our commitment to you drives us to actively participate in these important moments. These opportunities help us to gather valuable insights on new brands and partners, ultimately enhancing you and your attendee’s experience.
Recently, we had the opportunity to debrief with Anabelle Seybert, one of our outstanding Registration Specialists, who perfectly captured our mission. "Cadence envisions dreams and brings them to life before our clients even have the chance to imagine them." We are genuinely fortunate to explore remarkable destinations, foster a sense of familiarity among strangers, and, when fortunate, leave a lasting and authentic impression on others.
Before we dive deeper, we want to first extend our heartfelt thanks to our incredible partners and team members who make these trips and events possible. From Hawaii to Spain, each opportunity added a unique layer of expertise to our offerings.
Ready to see a few of our favorite places we’ve been this summer and what we've discovered? Let's dive in!
Exploring Marbella, Spain: The recent incentive trip we planned was a great reminder of how important it is to build connections with our clients and attendees. In true fashion, Anabelle and our onsite team did an incredible job executing a flawless program with endless memorable moments. The beautiful Puente Romano resort set the stage for unforgettable experiences, from a warm Welcome Reception to an enchanting evening at an Andalusian villa. Attendees really embraced the vibrant culture of Spain with unique activities that made this trip truly special.
Client Advisory Board at Four Seasons Los Cabos: We had the pleasure of co-hosting a Client Advisory Board meeting at the stunning Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas, in partnership with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. This wasn't just another meeting - it was a fantastic opportunity to strengthen relationships with our clients and partners through open, meaningful conversations. With swimmable beaches and breathtaking scuba spots, the Four Seasons was the perfect setting.
Exploring Rosewood Baha Mar: Megan Hartzler recently joined a FAM trip to Rosewood Baha Mar, an amazing spot for incentive groups. With access to three resorts (including Grand Hyatt and SLS Baha Mar), guests can enjoy a range of amenities, unique spaces, and delicious dining options. It's truly an ideal destination for group experiences and corporate events that cater to diverse needs.

Inspiration from Connection 2024, Global DMC Partners: Ashley Case had a wonderful time at Connection 2024, where she connected with planners and exchanged creative ideas. One standout suggestion was partnering with long-term care or elder care facilities for CSR activities when visiting new destinations. These initiatives not only give back to the community but also offer rich historical insights into the area.
Discovering Utah Valley: Krystal Adams’ adventure in Utah Valley included visits to various hotels and fun activities in Provo. The Sundance Mountain Resort and Downtown Provo provided unique experiences, from ziplining and horseback riding to local art studios and eateries. This destination is perfect for smaller, nature-loving groups looking for a memorable retreat.
Cadence Corporate Client Event: We recently hosted a vibrant corporate event at the stunning La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club. Sponsored by industry leaders like Southwest Business and Enterprise Mobility, the event was filled with lively music, festive colors, and breathtaking coastal views. It was the perfect atmosphere for networking and relaxing with our local valued clients.
Bringing Tourism Back to Hawaii: Chardell Robinson is currently in Hawaii, and we're excited to support the local tourism industry. Her trip reinforces why Hawaii remains a top choice for corporate events and incentive trips. The island's holistic vibe and key takeaways from this visit highlight its appeal for both relaxation and professional gatherings. Be on the lookout for a full recap and photos, coming soon!
