Attending or hosting a corporate event in Redding? While you may have already booked one of our versatile venues, an after-hours networking event is another great way to make your event a success. Networking is a valuable opportunity for attendees to socialize and make meaningful connections outside of a conference’s planned itinerary. Once meetings wrap up for the day, determine where to continue the evening with our comprehensive list of group-friendly venues perfect for professional networking.
While Redding’s picturesque views and adventurous attractions have dubbed the city as Northern California’s outdoor paradise, it’s the perfect group event location for many reasons. In Redding, attendees escape the hustle and bustle of California’s larger cities with a unique local vibe. Everything conference-goers would like to do or see on their trip is easily accessible in Redding – restaurants, lodging, and attractions are all just a quick walk or drive away from one another. Our local partners can cater exclusively to groups, so venues and restaurants are well-equipped to book your event with proper seating and food accommodations. Hosting a networking event in Redding ensures fun, convenience, and local flair for every attendee.
Redding is full of unique bars and breweries for meeting participants to explore. Plan an enticing networking event by choosing one of Redding’s originals for an eatery experience you can’t get anywhere else. For smaller groups, any of our local breweries offer award-winning craft beers that were made just steps away. If you’re looking for a brewery with guaranteed seating for a larger group, Woody’s Brewing Company takes reservations and is only 5 minutes away from most Redding lodging. For a lively atmosphere located inside Redding’s Red Lion Hotel, Three Shasta’s Bar & Grill easily accommodates groups with well-paired cocktails and frequent live entertainment.
Save on drinks or snacks for your networking group by seeking out happy hour deals from one of Redding’s many local restaurants. Many of our group-friendly eateries have special discounts on specific days and times, so be sure to check with a restaurant directly to learn about their happy hour deals. For a night of networking under the stars, Vintage Public House boasts an inviting patio and doubles as an intimate concert venue for live entertainment. C.R. Gibbs American Grille is a great option with private banquet rooms, offering a variety of American favorites and an exhibition kitchen so attendees can watch the food being prepared. If you’re in search of a classic, laid-back vibe, Cattlemens Steakhouse may be the perfect choice. Experience Cattlemens’ specialty hand-cut, aged beef and take advantage of their banquet room capabilities for your networking event.
If convenience is your goal, many of our meeting venues can accommodate additional networking opportunities once an event has ended. With separate spaces for participants to mingle, all-encompassing event venues are a seamless way to transition the evening without changing locations. The Shasta District Fair & Event Center offers over 50,000 square feet of event space and numerous rentable rooms to choose from to accommodate both your meeting and networking needs. Our lodging venues truly offer an all-in-one meeting experience; Redding’s Holiday Inn is one example of a spot with multiple event venues for the ultimate accessibility of your attendees.
