Vacation with a Purpose is a project by VER that transforms corporate conferences, retreats, incentive meetings, and gatherings into something far beyond the agenda.
We come alongside your existing event, identify a local community in need, and design and run a meaningful social action your team experiences together — handling every detail so they simply show up and make an impact.
In a world where every event competes with better venues, bigger speakers, and slicker production, what people remember most is how an experience made them feel. Purpose is what makes a gathering stay with them, it gives the trip a center of gravity, a reason to be there that has nothing to do with the schedule and everything to do with each other.
And you don’t have to choose between a flawless corporate event and a meaningful one. The most powerful moment of your trip can also be the one you have to think about the least.
The result is a trip your team never forgets, not because of the venue, but because of what they did for someone else!
Vacation with a Purpose is not a standalone event you have to organize. VER comes alongside your existing trip and builds the social impact component into it — designed around your group’s size, schedule, and values.
How it fits in:
· We come in after your event is booked — wherever in the world you already are.
· We identify local communities and organizations in need near your destination.
· We design the project around your group’s size, schedule, and values.
· We coordinate all the logistics so your team simply shows up and makes an impact.
· We capture the story so your company carries it forward.
Whether you’re hosting a global conference, a leadership retreat, or a sales kickoff, the goal is the same: bring your people together around something bigger than the agenda. Vacation with a Purpose is built for the leaders responsible for those moments. Below are the events we plug into and the people who bring us in, each with what matters most to them and what we deliver in return.
Companies that have integrated Vacation with a Purpose into their events return more connected, more motivated, and more aligned around a shared sense of purpose.
Everything you need to know about adding a meaningful impact moment to the event you’re already planning.
Still have questions? We’re happy to talk through the details.
What exactly is Vacation with a Purpose?
It’s a program that adds a meaningful social impact action to a corporate trip you’re already taking. VER designs, coordinates, and runs the entire experience so your team participates together, right where you already are.
Do we have to change our existing itinerary?
No. We build around your current schedule and integrate the action where it fits best — without disrupting your conference, retreat, or event agenda.
How much time does the social action take?
It’s flexible. We can design anything from a focused half-day action to a full day, depending on your group’s schedule and goals.
How do you choose the community or cause?
We identify local communities and organizations in need near your destination, then match the project to your group’s size, values, and the kind of impact you want to make.
What group sizes do you work with?
We design the project around your group, whether that’s a small leadership team or a large company-wide conference.
What do you handle, and what do we handle?
We handle the design, the partnerships, and all the logistics of the social action. Your team simply shows up and participates. You keep ownership of your overall event.
How far in advance do we need to plan?
The earlier the better, so we can secure the right community partner and logistics. Reach out as soon as your event destination and dates are confirmed.
Does this work internationally?
Yes. Wherever your event takes place, we work to identify and coordinate a meaningful local action in that destination.
What do we receive afterward?
We capture the story of the experience so your company can carry it forward — internally with your team and externally as part of your brand and purpose narrative.
How is it priced?
Each program is built around your event, group size, and the scope of the action, so pricing is custom. Contact us for a tailored proposal.
