GET IN TOUCH
GetOut is a networking platform for outdoorsy professionals. We plan and curate activity-based retreats for small groups with shared hobbies.
We believe that gathering around the shared love for an activity, with people who also work in your industry or in a similar role, is a strong combination to build lasting relationships.
GetOut wants to expand the opportunity of the executive retreat to a broader audience, and create a community of like minded individuals
The retreats are only the start in building this community, more events and networking opportunities will be offered in the future.
Whats an activity based retreat?
The focus of the retreat is the activity and opportunity to meet other like-minded professionals in a unique setting. When appropriate, light-programing will be included to tackle or discuss an issue relevant to the group.
Example:
In February ‘24, GetOut hosted a group on a backcountry powder tour outside of Breckenridge, CO. This group of like-minded professionals spent two days skiing untouched powder and one night in a backcountry cabin with experienced guides. The group connected quickly, excited by the opportunity to share a short adventure and connect over the love for skiing. To see a retreat recap click here.

FALL ‘24:
Bringing a fresh view to traditional networking
An activity based networking platform for individuals looking to create lasting relationships outdoors - away from the conference room.
Networking is vital, but not everyone shines under the expo hall fluorescents.
Conferences and happy hours can be productive, and are sometimes necessary - but for many these are not the best way to build relationships that endure.
These more traditional types of networking opportunities can be anxiety inducing and exhausting. It also can feel like a low odds game to luck into meeting a new, beneficial connection.
You might be a fan of GetOut retreats if…
...You
Would love to spend more time enjoying your favorite outdoor activity with other similar professionals
Haven’t found traditional networking productive or enjoyable
Don’t fit in the exec or entrepreneur group and want the experience and benefits that a retreat can offer
Live in an urban environment but constantly dream of your next outdoor adventure
Work from home, and/or have young children, and are looking for a chance to network and recharge while enjoying your favorite outdoor passion
GetOut is not looking to replace the buddies trip
There is nothing better than an outdoor adventure with friends. Sometimes as life evolves these trips get harder to plan, sometimes schedules or budgets don’t align.
We can’t, and don’t want to replace the buddies trip, but we can offer an alternative way to enjoy your favorite outdoor passion with a group of likeminded professionals. GetOut retreats can give you a chance to check off a bucket list location, or a trip that was too difficult to plan, and maybe since its not “just another trip with your buddies,” your partner/spouse and boss will give you a bit more leeway.
Interest in the outdoors has never been higher…
... and hobbies are proven to be important to both health (mental and physical) and overall happiness.
Outside of the Covid bump, the trend has been towards more outdoors based lifestyle. This can also be seen in travel trends towards national parks and the growth in glamping.
If the outdoors is one of your passions in your personal life, why shouldn't it be part of your professional life, too?
Are you the Outdoorsy friend?
Outdoorsy folks, who are into hobbies, or their hobby, are a passionate, curious, & active bunch. Often times they have several hobbies and very much feel that its a part of their identity.
We want to find and connect these folks with other passionate, active persons.
