Venue : Hewing Hotel

300 N Washington Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55401

Set in the heart of Minneapolis' historic North Loop, the Hewing Hotel is a century-old brick-and-timber warehouse that's been thoughtfully restored into one of the city's most distinctive boutique hotels.

Mornings might start with coffee by the lobby fireplace, diving into honest conversation with a small group of agency owners who get it. Evenings invite unwinding on the all-season rooftop with a cocktail and downtown skyline views. The Midwest has always been a place where people show up, roll up their sleeves, and genuinely look out for one another. You'll feel that at the Hewing.

Special Excursion

Escape Reality To Find Your Potential

There aren't many places in the world where you walk into a room and experience what it feels like when someone has poured everything into their creative vision.

Paisley Park is that place.

Prince did more than make music there. He built his own world, on his terms, from the ground up. What better special excursion for us to regain our creative focus and spark new ideas for how we run our businesses?
