America’s capital is known as a place for movers and shakers, so naturally, plenty of meetings take place in the city. That means it’s a challenge to find spaces and venues that really impress people. An event venue in Washington, D.C., needs to be unique to stand out from others, and meeting spaces in Washington, D.C., need to be as well. So how does someone go about finding the ideal Washington, D.C., corporate event venue? It often depends on the number of attendees and the amenities you need.

Of course, where to host corporate events in Washington, D.C., can actually be a really easy decision — when you opt for a City Cruises experience.

Setting the Stage with City Cruises in Washington, D.C. 

Odyssey Washington DC

For those who work in Washington, D.C., meetings are a must. There’s always a company agenda to discuss, a client to impress, a product launch, or a press event taking place. What’s not always available is a memorable space to hold these gatherings in. While a cruise is something people may have experienced as a leisure activity, professionally it’s a rare outing for corporations who often resort to conference rooms in hotels or even (gasp!) in their own workplace. However, City Cruises’ exceptional views of the D.C. skyline as the backdrop for business, and the novelty of a floating meeting space is something event attendees will talk about long after the outing is over. Because customizable packages and amenities are available, hosts have the ability to design a gathering that hits all of the sweet spots in hospitality that they’re after.

Meanwhile, corporate conferences and seminars often strive to engage audiences, and there’s no better environment to put people at ease and help foster interaction than on a boat. Of course, if product launches or press events are on the agenda, we can’t think of a better way to create a memorable experience (designed with social media sharing in mind) than a picturesque cruise showcasing this amazing city.
