Prod: How to book a perfect retreat in 8 days

Prod's Retreat with Nowadays

Prod is a startup accelerator that transforms pre-idea students into full-time founders. They’re a non-profit and do everything in their power to help student founders succeed. With their new cohort finally in place, they wanted to plan a retreat for Prod initiation weekend. The goal: create a memorable experience that felt (a) differentiated from other events, and (b) very well done and professional.

As most startups know, the best plans often come from spontaneity. Prod turned to Nowadays to plan their retreat coming up in less than 2 weeks, and found the perfect venue for the group with time to spare!

The typical booking window for a retreat for less than 50 people is about 3 months. It’s already tough to find a venue that might be open for large groups, but then you also have to book them while they’re still available.

That being said, you should try to book the venue as far in advanced as you can. With flexible dates, you can guarantee better pricing as well.

Of course, we’ve all been there. Sometimes, things get busy, and you have to plan last minute. Though we don’t encourage last minute planning, Nowadays is here when you need it the most.

“Nowadays is doing something really original, with a core innovation which is automating gathering hotel quotes and I think that was awesome. Compared to other Offsite platforms and travel agencies that are much more manual, Nowadays acts much more quickly with more personalized results to what we’re looking for!” — Anne, President of Prod
