Are you thinking of hosting your meeting in Green Bay? We might be biased (we are), but we think it’s an incredible idea. We have all the amenities of a larger market, combined with the friendliness and charm of a small town. It’s the perfect combination for a memorable meeting!
We have everything you need to plan your event, from venues to convention services to online housing. But what about entertaining your attendees after the meeting ends? Post-event activities are just as important, and we’re here to offer some fun, unique ideas!
These options go beyond the typical happy hour, ensuring your attendees leave with lasting memories. And as a meeting planner, that’s one of your biggest goals! Are you ready to dive into our list?
Portable Gaming and eSports
Let’s start with one of the newest entertainment options in town! CARCADE is a mobile gaming and social entertainment provider that brings video games (both retro classics and modern hits) to you. They call themselves “The Anywhere Arcade” because they can set up in any location you wish. This is perfect for providing a post-meeting entertainment experience right on-site! Encourage attendees to show their skills on the Mario Kart track or choose a sports-themed game for your event. The possibilities are endless!
Competitive Relay Races… on a Segway!
Sure, Segway tours are fun, and you can do them in pretty much any medium- to large-sized city (Green Bay included). But what if you raised the stakes a little bit? Glide N.E.W. offers competitive relay races on Segways for up to 300 participants — an activity your attendees will not soon forget. Teams will work together to fill a cup with water, piece together a puzzle, or sweep a ball with a broom… all while balancing on a Segway! It won’t be easy, but it will definitely be a blast!
Experience Indigenous Culture
Enhance your attendees' experience with a cultural tour of the Oneida Nation Reservation. Explore the Oneida Long House, a 65-foot replica traditional home, and Salt Pork Avenue's five reconstructed log homes, each over a century old, showcasing the Oneida people's history and transition to farming in Wisconsin. Additional attractions include the Oneida Buffalo Overlook, home to a buffalo herd established in 1999, and the Tsyunhehkwa organic farm, which cultivates traditional white corn and tobacco. Customized tours and traditional Oneida meals can be arranged through the Tourism Cultural Coordinator.
Get Up in the Trees
NEW Zoo & Adventure Park's Neil Anderson Canopy Tour is an unforgettable excursion. This treetop adventure features over a dozen suspension bridges and platforms, providing a fresh perspective of the zoo as participants traverse through trees and over animal habitats. Educational signage along the route shares the zoo's history and highlights the surrounding environment. If this isn’t your group’s style, other customized group options are available throughout the zoo and adventure park.
Host a “Chopped” Cooking Event
Everyone wants to star in a reality show, right? Local chef Ace Champion hosts interactive cooking events with a competitive twist. Imagine a Chopped-style showdown where attendees create a dish using a few limited (and obscure) ingredients. This activity fosters teamwork, creativity, and friendly competition… and at the end, you get to share a delicious meal!
Trains, Trains, and More Trains
Does your group love history? Take them to explore the National Railroad Museum's historic trains, interactive exhibits, and scenic grounds through a guided group tour. Highlights include the General Motors Aerotrain, General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s World War II command train, and Union Pacific #4017 "Big Boy." Tours are available year-round, with additional options like hobo lunches and seasonal train rides to enhance the experience.
Whose Line is it Anyway?
End your meeting on a hilarious note by hiring the improv troupe at ComedyCity to perform live at your event. Since 1987, ComedyCity has been delivering high-energy private and traveling improv shows, customizing each performance to suit your group’s unique needs. Standard shows feature four talented performers for 60 minutes, with options for extended performances or additional cast members to keep the laughs going.
