Greater Palm Springs promises an unforgettable meeting experience, with 300+ days of sunshine annually, mountains you can almost reach out and touch, world-renowned events, and an incredible range of accommodations, meeting spaces, venues and attractions. Here, meetings simply mean more, whether it’s more nonstop flights arriving in our destination than ever or more wide-open space to brainstorm and break out in a whole new way.

Here are 5 surprising reasons to meet in our Southern California oasis.

1. Air Service / Accessibility: Palm Springs International Airport (PSP), named one of the “Top 10 Stress-Free Airports in America” by SmarterTravel.com, continues to expand air service and carriers. In addition to welcoming Southwest Airlines last year, PSP now offers nonstop service to 30+ cities as well as connections to over 500 destinations worldwide!

2. Unique Outdoor Meetings: Wide-open spaces, breathtaking scenery and warm weather year-round make Greater Palm Springs the perfect setting for outdoor events and activities. Imagine breakouts beneath swaying palm trees and blue skies and brainstorming sessions by the pool.

3. Midweek Value: Though Greater Palm Springs offers great value any time of year, planners can take advantage of special discounts Sunday through Thursday). Discover more accessibility and fewer crowds for all you want to do, from group tours to catered functions. 

4. Off-the-Grid Activities: Add a little adrenaline to the agenda with unique team-building and group activities, such as a high-speed driving experience at the BMW Performance Center West or a guided Jeep tour of the San Andreas Fault. 

5. Safer Together, Greater Together Pledge: Your attendees can meet with peace of mind knowing that over 500 hotels, restaurants, attractions, venues and businesses have taken a destination-wide pledge committing to uphold the latest health and safety standards established by the State of California and leading industry associations.
