Let your attendees enjoy The Palm Beaches with their significant others, between-the-sessions. Having your next meeting, event or company retreat in The Palm Beaches means impressing not just those there for business, but also their plus one’s (two’s or three’s) that may be tagging along with them to sneak in some family time or spouse time between the sessions.

Music, Movies, and Art

Spouses and families can experience the artistic side of Florida’s Cultural Capital®. Here are some ideas:

• Organize a family movie night in one of the various outdoor, open-air spaces in The Palm Beaches. Some examples are the Palm Beach County Convention Center’s SkyROOM or the Meyer Amphitheater at the Downtown Waterfront.
• Spend a family night at Clematis by Night on West Palm Beach waterfront, a free weekly concert series event for the entire family held every Thursday evening. 
• Grab a cocktail in one of the numerous bars with live music at walking distance from the Convention Center.

Relaxation Time for Spouses

The Palm Beaches are the perfect place for relaxing and getting rid of stress. While business is in session, spouses and significant others can relax in one of the many wellness spas in The Palm Beaches. From massages to facials to custom-tailored treatments, The Palm Beaches boast unsurpassed wellness offerings and spa packages that promise total tranquility.
