Every planner knows the go-to group activities in Los Angeles—think Disneyland, the Petersen Automotive Museum, Rodeo Drive shopping tours, studio backlot visits, or celebrity home sightseeing. But LA offers so much more beneath the surface. If you’re looking to surprise and impress your group with experiences they truly can’t have anywhere else, here are a few standout options that we can provide that tap into the city’s community connection, cinematic soul, and cultural star power.
Giving back to the community is a meaningful way to immerse yourself in a destination while making a positive impact. With the outcome of the recent Los Angeles wildfires, corporate groups have a unique opportunity to turn team-building into meaningful impact. We can coordinate CSR experiences like building bikes for children whose families lost everything in recent fires, creating joy while restoring a sense of normalcy. Or plant trees and shrubs to aid reforestation & land restoration. Allow us to arrange opportunities to partner with local nonprofits or the LAFD Foundation to support wildfire recovery efforts, whether through fundraising initiatives or team-building activities that benefit displaced families and first responders. It’s a powerful way to foster team connection while giving back to the heroes who protect this city.
Transport your attendees into the heart of movie magic by hosting an event on an actual studio backlot. Iconic sets become the backdrop for unforgettable lunches, dinners, or cocktail receptions—imagine dining beneath New York street facades or toasting under the glow of vintage soundstage lights. Or take it a step further—let your group be the stars with a custom “Make a Movie” experience, complete with hair, makeup, costumes, and a film crew to help them shoot their own music video or movie trailer. It’s the kind of immersive, story-driven activity only LA can offer—and one they’ll never forget.
For something truly show-stopping, align your group’s visit with one of LA’s most glamorous annual events—like the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party, held every year in March. With the right connections and planning, your top clients or incentive winners can experience red carpet energy, celebrity mingling, an exclusive performance from top musicians, and elevated hospitality at one of Hollywood’s most coveted nights.
Los Angeles is gearing up to host two of the world’s most significant sporting events, bringing an influx of business, hospitality, and high-energy activations.
