What to expect
Set in a stunning locale, the retreat will be the perfect blend of professional development and social interaction.

Attendees will participate in small, expert-led and peer-to-peer discussions focusing on helping HR leaders elevate their careers by seizing new opportunities in the modern workplace and learning how to overcome its toughest challenges. They will also enjoy a spectacular lineup of events like a beachfront reception, a 4-course sit down dinner, and sunrise yoga - or, if they choose, have some well-deserved time to themselves in a tropical paradise.

Members will leave this event with renewed energy, newfound inspiration, and ready-to-implement insights.

The inaugural Troop Retreat was the best event I’ve ever been to.  TroopHR covered every detail from food to decor to venue.  People were so happy to be here.  Everyone was engaged.  TroopHR is astounding to me.

The Troop Retreat was an event to be remembered for a long time to come. TroopHR is incredible - the platform, the resources and community, but this retreat was something else! Can’t wait for the next one.

The Troop Retreat was really memorable. I made so many incredible connections, re-connections, and generally just found a multitude of reasons to be reminded why I love the work we do.  Already looking forward to the next one!!!

Thank you so much for the Troop Retreat, it was such a terrific event! I met some of the most wonderful people during the event. The sessions coupled with time to connect, shared experiences and time to reflect was just what I needed.

Where is the retreat located and how do I book my hotel accommodations?
This year's retreat is being held at the Ritz-Carlton Naples in Naples Florida., a short 30 minute drive from Fort Meyers International Airport. Accommodations can only be booked through a special link that will be sent to members after they register for the retreat; not directly with the venue. The discounted rate of $1,050 for 3 nights in a single room includes hotel fees and local taxes is available to TroopHR Retreat attendees only (regular rate for three nights is $3,732). To explore the hotel visit: https://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/hotels/rswrz-the-ritz-carlton-naples/. Please note, a credit card will be required upon check-in to the hotel for any incidentals.
Can I stay at the resort for more than 3 nights?
To attend the retreat, you must book accommodations for a 3 night stay - checking in on Sunday, April 28th and checking out on Wednesday,  May 1st at the special rate of $350/night (inclusive of tax and room fees) per our contract with the venue. Sponsor rate is $525 plus taxes and fees.If you would like to arrive a day early to better accommodate your travel plans (especially for those traveling from the west coast) we have limited rooms available at a discounted price of $525 + room fees and tax for the night of Saturday, April 27th. Members can book accommodations for the Saturday night on a first-come, first-serve basis by emailing support@troophr.com.
When should I plan to arrive and depart from the retreat?
Event dates are April 28 - May 1, 2024. You should plan to arrive at the hotel on Sunday, April 28th, no later than 5pm. Departure is anytime on the morning of May 1st. While it might be tempting to leave the night prior, you will miss the closing ceremony, which lasts until approximately 9pm. And out of respect for your fellow attendees, we ask that you commit to attending the entire experience.
How do I get to the Ritz-Carlton, Naples?
You are responsible for arranging your own travel arrangements to the Ritz-Carlton Naples. For those who don't live nearby, you will be flying into Fort Meyers International Airport (RSW). From there, the hotel is approximately a 30 min taxi or car sharing service ride. As part of your registration we will be providing hourly shuttle service from the airport to the hotel for arrivals on Sunday, April 28th and departures from the hotel to the airport on Wednesday, May 1st (7 am - 12 pm ). Fort Meyers airport is easily accessible from many major cities by direct flight.
What is your refund policy?
Due to our contractual agreements with the venue we have a very limited refund policy. All retreat passes purchased before February 1, 2024 are 100% refundable within 48 hours of purchase. For purchases on or after February 1, 2024 no refunds are available under any circumstance.
What is the retreat attire?
We recommend you wear the clothes you are comfortable in and if you enjoy dressing up a bit in the evening we encourage you to do so. Swimming attire, clothes for yoga and meditation as well as walking shoes are necessary if you choose to participate in wellness activities. The Welcome Dinner is on the beach so consider appropriate footwear.
How can I get my company to fund the cost?
The TroopHR Member Retreat is a one-of-a-kind experience for senior HR Leaders. There are very few opportunities for HR Leaders to connect on a platform that supports what they need to truly grow and evolve to the next level. While traditional conferences and networking have a purpose, they aren't always designed with the unique needs of People Leaders. Therefore, supporting HR Leaders at a time when their strategic leadership has never been more important allows them to hit new levels of growth, is something all companies can get behind. Feel free to use this document to secure support and/or reach out to us for help positioning the cost to your company.
What are the opportunities available for corporate sponsors?
We have select opportunities for partner experiences. Feel free to email us at hello@troophr.com for more information.
