New England is fortunate to have four seasons that each brings its own distinct pleasures: crisp autumn days, winter’s frosty elegance, the new growth and brilliant floral hues of spring, and summer’s salty sea breezes. SEASONS’ GREET INGS Year-round in Maine. Your delegates will want to take advantage of the seasonal flavors on tap when they’re here. Curling up by a winter’s fire, rafting during a spring high-water release, picking apples, sailing on the bay—there’s always something special to do to make the most of the time you’ve chosen to meet in Maine. Maine is a safe and comfortable destination where delegates often combine a family vacation with business travel. The skies fill with the sounds of outdoor concerts throughout the summer and into fall. Annual festivals celebrate everything from the bounty of autumn’s harvest to the delights of winter. When you hold your next meeting in Maine, you may run out of time, but never things to do! Meeting in Maine during the peak season can be a challenge for budget-conscious groups, but you can still have a budget-friendly meeting in the summer by choosing the right venue. Head to the mountains where ski resorts welcome groups at off-season rates and state parks are nearby. Or take over a college campus! When school’s out, you can enjoy the robust meeting and leisure space of several colleges near the ocean. Book a multi-functional arena or theatre for your peak season space and cheer at the savings. Winter and spring are the value seasons in Greater Portland; your budget will stretch further during these months. Not only are room rates lower but the region is filled with fine dining, sports, and an abundance of arts and entertainment. Enjoy live performances of professional theater, dance, the Portland Symphony, and headliner concerts—all of whose primary programming correspond with Portland’s value dates. A VALUE PROPOSITION
