CULTURE IS BUILT THROUGH IN-PERSON CONNECTION

At the AU, we believe that a team can maintain connection in a virtual environment — but that real connection and sustainable relationships needs regular in-person connection. A hybrid approach builds a stronger, more cohesive team in the long run.

FOR AN OFFSITE, YOUR FOCUS SHOULD BE ON YOUR TEAM — NOT THE LOGISTICS

When organizing a team retreat, your time should be spent on creating opportunities for connection and camaraderie — not on researching hotels. The AU team has done the legwork already, so that you can choose from our curated options to find the best fit for your schedule and budget.

FROM A SINGLE DAY TO A FULL WEEK, WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED

Tell us what you’re looking for, and we can map out your itinerary and line up reservations. From hotels and restaurants to meeting space and social events, we can make it happen — and will be your onsite support along the way.

WHY HOST YOUR OFFSITE IN DURHAM?

Distributed companies have their pick of cities for gathering a team. So why do we think Durham is the best fit?

LOCATION AND WALKABILITY

If you’re flying in, Durham is a direct flight from San Francisco, NYC, Austin, Atlanta, Chicago, and most other metros. Then, after the 25-minute drive from RDU International Airport, you won’t need to get into a car again. Your hotel, meeting space, restaurants, and attractions are all within a few blocks. 

AFFORDABILITY & CONVENIENCE

Durham has urban appeal without the big city price tag. Stretch your budget and do more with less in Durham,.

Space for productive work…

The AU can provide meeting rooms for 2 to 25 people, plus flex space and coworking areas. Help yourself to coffdee in the kitchens, and take your breaks out on the rooftop patio. Our space is designed for creativity and productivity.

…and plenty of TIME for fun

When it’s time to close your laptops, Durham has no shortage of options. We’re a foodie paradise with a donzen quality restaurants clustered downtown. Then, you can cap off the day with a Durham Bulls game, an outing to the Boxcar Barcade, or drinks on the Durham Hotel rooftop — whatever fits your team culture. And if you have some downtime, build in a field trip to Duke Gardens, the Lemur Center, or the Eno River Park.
