Saying Goodbye to Conventional Convention Venues



If you are looking for a fun and creative way to get together for a convention, look no further than Woodlands of Marburg. This enticing convention venue is classy and intriguing. It is the kind of place that is memorable and leaves a lasting impression. This conference and meeting venue is sure to wow all of the people attending your event.


When you think of the typical convention centre you think of rows of sterile chairs, a room with no personality, and people packed into a hot room, waiting for a chance to run outside and get some fresh air. Woodlands of Marburg couldn't be further from that mythical impression. You have the opportunity to get together with colleagues and enjoy time in their half sized Olympic swimming pool, play on the tennis courts, and even stroll through their winery. This is the type of venue that allows co-workers and colleagues to get together and truly be engaging with one another. It's the type of venue where you can leave the suit and tie behind and still feel as though you are attending a conference or convention.  Finding good conference meeting venues is not typically an easy task. You have to muddle through a bunch of menus that consist of cafeteria food and bland settings. Now you have the option to do something fun and exciting.


It's time to leave the conventional convention centre behind and move into the new and updated version of a meeting place. No longer should you accept a hotel lobby as a meeting place for you and your peers. Those days are gone. Now the days consist of eating excellent food, dining on good wine, and truly getting to know your team. The environment is created to ensure that success is imminent. No one is going to leave that conference and meeting venue and feel as though their money was wasted. As a matter of fact, it would not be surprising for your colleagues to ask again soon when the next conference will be held, and can it be held at Woodlands of Marburg. It's just that refreshing of a convention venue.

Team Building, Murder Mystery, or Both?


It's not likely that when we think about convention & conference venues that we think about who is going to die. When you hold your convention at one of the most hip and cool corporate conference venues, you not only think about who is going to die, you dress for the occasion. That's right. You get excited to realize that you will witness a murder when you are at Woodlands of Marburg. It's not every day you can say that!


Traditional and conventional corporate conference venues don't usually include a murder mystery, half sized Olympic swimming pool, or a winery. Those are only a handful of the fun things you can do while having your convention or conference at Woodlands of Marburg. You won't be checking the hands on your watch, ticking down the seconds, while hoping this weekend is over. You may be checking the hands on your watch, ticking down the seconds, wondering when you can enjoy the amenities. You may want to rush back to Bougainvillea House, where you're staying, to enjoy the company of friends and co-workers. You are going to gain important information at your convention as well as enjoying the company of like-minded people. Maybe you are there during winter and can enjoy their Christmas in July theme. Regardless of when you hold your convention here, you are bound to find something fun and out of the ordinary to do.


Co-workers can be very competitive at work. This can carry over to gatherings where lots of co-workers get together. Instead of everyone just saying they could beat you at tennis, they can prove it. There are tennis courts at Woodlands of Marburg that allow you to get some physical exercise after sitting through conventions and conferences all day.  A friendly tennis game is one way to get rid of the excess energy that you didn't have a chance to burn off during the day.


If you want something different and fun, a new way to motivate your staff and a highly memorable experience, the choice is easy: Woodlands of Marburg.
