What You Might Want to Know Featuring Kalahari

1 - Menus are customizable! Our culinary team loves to work with clients to come up with unique and themed meals! Menus should be looked at as a guide rather than what you must select from.

2 - Share as much information with us as possible when it comes to your vision and goals for the event. We love to work with clients in bringing a vision to life and helping them achieve their goals.

Stephani Bann, Assistant Director of Sales,

3 - Allow your attendees to have some leisure time. Whether it be a few hours between afternoon sessions and dinner or an entire evening, a little down time goes a long way! Our resort has so much to offer and when you build leisure time into your agenda so attendees can enjoy the amenities it actually boosts attendance in sessions and at planned meals.

4 - Advertise your event early! This helps when it comes to gauging registrations and room block pickup well before your cutoff date and deadlines. So when you start working on details several months prior to the event you have a gauge of where you stand with attendance.

5 - If you’re looking to plan something offsite, a local CVB (like Pocono Mountains CVB) is always a great resource! Whether it be a trip to Poconos Raceway, a brewery or touring a local organic farm, the CVB is always available to help with details and planning!
