Though most visitors come to the park to play, Yosemite hosts scores of business meetings, conferences, retreats and other professional functions each year. The Ahwahnee Hotel, Yosemite Lodge and Tenaya Lodge all have meeting rooms and business staffs that cater to the needs of professionals who are there for work. Relax (or seek nocturnal wildlife) in the evening at the Mountain Room Bar, the Jackalope Bar or the Ahwahnee Lounge. In any spare moments during the day, in Yosemite Valley, it's easy to stroll through the forest to the Valley Visitor Center, the Ansel Adams Gallery and to the base of stunning Yosemite Falls. You can even arrange your group's own naturalist from Yosemite Association for a morning's outing. There's nothing quite like a 2400-foot waterfall or a 3000-year-old tree (in the Mariposa Grove, near Tenaya Lodge) to put a quarterly budget, HR issues, or market share analyses into perspective. You'll never forget the restorative and inspirational experience of professional time in the setting of Yosemite.
