You’re invited to the premiere gathering for innovation leaders. This September, Jump will be hosting its sixth annual Jump Offsite. As in years past, the Offsite promises to be a compelling forum for innovation leaders to meet and learn from each other in an intimate, casual setting. While the conversation is always free flowing, we’re sure that topics will run the gamut, from the strategic (“What are the best ways to grow organically?”) to the tactical (“What metrics do you use to differentiate breakout concepts from disruptive ones?”) to the philosophical (“What are you most afraid of?”). Over time, participants have found the Jump Offsite to be a useful way to connect with people who have similar responsibilities and challenges. It’s a chance to have a private, honest conversation about the best ways to realize future opportunities.

Refresh. Reconnect. Recharge.

Year after year, this sophisticated sanctuary proves truly amazing. The elegant design and private guest cottages make it feel like one part chic hotel, one part writers’ colony, all nestled in the midst of vineyards as far as the eye can see. We think you’ll fall in love with its spa, café and wine bar, not to mention its fruit orchards and flower gardens.
