In Greater Palm Springs, meetings unfold beneath swaying palm trees and boundless sunshine. Mountain vistas don’t just set the scene — they rejuvenate and inspire. From poolside networking to team building in extraordinary desert landscapes, every moment fosters creativity and connection.
It may sound like a mirage, but this meeting oasis is real. Greater Palm Springs blends an effortless arrival experience, world-class accommodations, and unique attractions, making it the perfect backdrop for meetings that leave a lasting impact.
Easy Air Access
Getting here is as seamless as the experience that awaits. Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) offers more air access than ever — including new nonstop seasonal routes to Newark (EWR), Charlotte (CLT), and Washington, D.C. (IAD) — and convenient one-stop connections from 500+ destinations worldwide. Named one of the Top 10 Most Stress-Free Airports in America, PSP sets a relaxing tone with open-air terminals, new locally inspired dining, and fewer crowds.
What’s New
From reimagined resorts to must-visit attractions, the destination is always evolving. The highly anticipated Thompson Palm Springs is now open, with 168 luxury guest rooms, an on-site Napa Valley tasting room, and two outdoor pools with stunning mountain views. Nearby, the Riviera Resort and Spa (formerly Margaritaville Resort) will soon begin a phased renovation expected to reach completion later this year, while the Palm Springs Convention Center will usher in a $125 million transformation, elevating interiors, technology, and the overall attendee experience.
Cultural and resort icons are also in the spotlight, from the historic and fully restored Plaza Theatre, available for private events, to the centennial celebration of La Quinta Resort & Club, reinforcing Greater Palm Springs as a meeting oasis where productivity and creativity thrive.
For unique offsite experiences, consider booking private event space at the new Palm Springs Surf Club, where attendees can hang 10 in the state-of-the-art wave pool, or at DSRT Surf, opening summer 2026 with a 5.5-acre surf lagoon and group-friendly gathering spaces.
Inspiring Outdoor Meeting Spaces
With 300+ days of sunshine, Greater Palm Springs is made for open-air meetings. Resort properties throughout the destination deliver exceptional outdoor venues, from lakeside lawns at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa to lush citrus groves at Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa. Groups can also meet among native desert flora and enjoy wildlife encounters at The Living Desert Zoo & Gardens, ideal for receptions and private events. Whether it’s an al fresco dinner, a networking event under the stars, or a team retreat surrounded by nature, Greater Palm Springs ensures every meeting is not only memorable but meaningful.
