THE PAYOFF

Why Richmond is Great for Team Building

The practical reasons Richmond works when you need to get a team together.

Request a Quote
  1. Easy to Get Everyone There

    More than 1.3 million people live across Richmond’s metro, including Henrico and Chesterfield, so a downtown meeting point works for teams coming from anywhere in the region.

  2. Indoor and Outdoor, Any Season

    The James River Park System’s trails and river frontage for something active outside, and downtown meeting space when you’d rather be in. Any time of year works.

  3. Venues for Any Group Size

    The Omni Richmond downtown suits a boardroom-sized group, and the Greater Richmond Convention Center, Virginia’s largest meeting facility, suits a company-wide one.

  4. A Downtown Built to Explore

    Shockoe Bottom and Shockoe Slip’s restored 19th-century warehouse blocks make a natural course for a scavenger hunt or a city challenge on foot.

  5. Somewhere to Celebrate After

    Scott’s Addition, a lively district just outside downtown, is ready when the event wraps.

Customer Success Stories & Team Building Case Studies

Real results from real teams. Here is how Outback has helped companies build stronger cultures.

Finance 50+ people Virtual

BMO Bank of Montreal

BMO brought more than 50 employees together for a virtual event to reconnect a team that had grown distant. People were hesitant at first, but the format broke the ice fast and pulled everyone in. By the end, coworkers who rarely spoke were laughing and working together, and leadership had nothing but good things to say.

Technology Distributed team Virtual

Cisco

Cisco wanted to build real connection across a large team spread over several time zones. We ran a fully hosted virtual escape room that gave everyone a shared problem to solve. The energy was there right away, with people working the puzzle and celebrating together instead of feeling like a screen full of strangers.

Retail Company-wide In-Person

Loblaws

Loblaws wanted team building that would also give back. Through an Outback Cares charity event, employees worked side by side to assemble donations and raised $18,000 for a local cause. Morale went up as teams worked toward something that mattered, and the company made a real impact in the community.
