One of the most beautiful places in California is Marina del Rey. This Los Angeles County coastal area is right where you want to be for some fun in the sun. The scenery is breathtaking and there’s so much to do – including dining on the waterfront. Marina del Rey also offers breathtaking sunsets making it an ideal place to get away for the weekend. Take all the beauty of this coastal hotspot on the water and it is easily a wonderful place to host networking events.

Love it or hate it, networking is a part of life. “Yes, networking can help you land jobs and gain access to new opportunities,” according to Harvard Business Review. “But it can also be about making genuine connections, knowledge sharing, and giving back to others.” And while people may reluctantly line up for networking events, there are things that you can do to make them more palatable for your guests. One important thing to consider when planning your event is not to have networking events in boring, stuffy locations. That’s a real turnoff. Instead, take it to the water! Break out of the office and onto the water with a spectrum of tailored experiences crafted to inspire your unique event vision. City Cruises has flexible venue options all on the water for your networking events in Marina del Rey or Los Angeles that will elevate your outing and inspire your guests.
