August 7, 2025
July was a memorable and productive month for our team at Sports & Entertainment Travel, marked by collaboration, connection, and preparation for the busy season ahead. From strategic planning to meaningful time with our partners, July gave us the opportunity to recharge, regroup, and gear up before we hit the road again soon. With football season just around the corner, it was the perfect time to align our goals, reconnect as a team, and look ahead to what’s next.
Ready, SET, Retreat
We kicked things off with a summer staff retreat in beautiful Hayward, Wisconsin. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Northwoods, our team spent time out on Moose Lake, stargazed under clear skies, and took in some unforgettable sunsets. The peaceful setting provided the perfect backdrop to unwind and reconnect!
Our time together wasn’t just about relaxing (though we definitely made time for that). It was also about setting the tone for the months ahead. We held strategic planning sessions focused on upcoming fall programs, client service goals, and how we can continue to elevate the fan and donor travel experience. The energy, ideas, and collaboration that came out of those sessions have us excited and aligned heading into football season.
Summer CAMMP
Later in the month, a few members of our team traveled to Ann Arbor to attend CAMMP (Council of Alumni Marketing & Membership Professionals) at the University of Michigan. The conference brought together a fantastic group of alumni relations and marketing professionals from across the country, all dedicated to building strong engagement and loyalty among their fan bases.
Over the course of the week, we had the opportunity to learn, share ideas, and connect with both new faces and familiar partners. Whether it was a hallway conversation, a coffee chat, or a dinner sharing ideas, the connections made were meaningful and energizing. It was a great reminder of the power of collaboration across the industry and how valuable it is to work with people who share our passion for creating unforgettable experiences.
College Football Is Almost Back!
As July comes to a close, we’re proud of the momentum we’ve built and grateful for the time spent with our team and industry peers. The planning is in motion, the partnerships are in place, and now we’re counting down the days.
August marks the official kickoff of football season, and we can’t wait to be back on the road with our clients, partners, and fans across the country. From big rivalry weekends to premium donor experiences, we’re looking forward to another exciting season of travel, tradition, and team spirit.
If you’re looking to travel this football season, or if you’re interested in a custom experience for your alumni or donor base, reach out today. We’d love to see you on the road!
