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.

TroopHR is about forming bonds, celebrating one another, and letting yourself feel all the feels in a safe space.  Troop is an amazing community of humans that helps us navigate our way through our careers and find inspiration in one another.  The Troop has lifted me up and I am forever grateful.

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, May  4th and checking out on Wednesday,  May 7th at the special rate of $350/night (inclusive of tax and room fees) per our contract with the venue.

The regular group negotiated discount rate is $529/night plus taxes and fees. This is the rate available to partners of the event. If you are a member and 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 this discounted price of $529/night plus taxes and fees for the night of Saturday, May 3rd. 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 May 4th - May 7th, 2025.  You should plan to arrive at the hotel on Sunday, May 4th, no later than 5pm. Departure is anytime on the morning of May 7th. 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?
For those who don't live nearby, you will be flying into Fort Meyers International Airport (RSW). Fort Meyers Airport is easily accessible from many major cities by direct flight. 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, May 4th and departures from the hotel to the airport on Wednesday, May 7th (7 am - 12 pm ).
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, 2025, are 100% refundable within 48 hours of purchase. For purchases on or after February 1, 2025, no refunds are available under any circumstances.
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.
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.
