Throwing Shade

Planning trips that are distinct can help inspire top performances and loyalty. Grand American Adventures, which specializes in small group excursions for 35- to 65-yearolds, has launched a series of in-depth, guided tours in the Mountain West that also can work well for incentive trips. The excursions feature an element of luxury and accommodations in upscale boutique lodges, ranches, yurts and cabins.

There is no denying the stunning daytime scenery of Colorado, but the state’s amazing celestial landscape after normal meeting hours provides all sorts of great options for groups.

Twice each month from May through September, groups meeting in Leadville or nearby can enjoy a stagecoach ride beneath a full moon with Halfmoon Packing & Outfitting. Based on the 19th-century tradition of mail delivery by stagecoach, moonlight rides are offered on the eve and night of the full moon.

Planners know international meetings can be hard to coordinate amidst the language barriers that may exist between attendees. Interprefy eliminates these barriers by providing a convenient and costeffective remote simultaneous interpreting service. Now, the service has launched its newest feature, Interprefy WebMeet, a platform specifically designed for multihub and virtual meetings.

Three eco-friendly products offer a fresh take on common event goodies.
