Learning expedition programs a year, from 12 to 40 pax, across the USA & Canada.
The best learning expeditions don't just answer the brief, they go past it. Every Get Americas program starts with your industry and your strategic questions. Whether your team arranges its own company visits or asks us to secure some through our local partners, we build the whole expedition around them, in the innovation hubs of the USA and Canada.
Our destination experts know the ecosystem, not just the itinerary, and suggest the encounters your team didn't think to ask for. We handle every transfer, every venue and every detail, under your brand or your agency's. Your delegation only has to focus on what it came to learn.
Every expedition starts with your sector and your objectives. We build the itinerary around the visits your team has arranged, add those we secure on request through our local partners, and keep every day on schedule, from the first site visit to the final debrief.
Our destination experts have deep local roots. On request, they suggest and confirm speakers and additional site visits, mixing founders, investors, operators and long-time residents, so your delegation hears more than one side of the story.
Our team manages every transfer, meeting time and last-minute change on the ground, so your delegation walks into each stop focused and on time.
Evenings bring a cultural outing or a networking event chosen for the destination: a dinner, a private tour, an unexpected detour, the kind of shared moment that turns a delegation into a team before the trip is over.
We build a risk plan before departure and staff the program with 24/7 on-the-ground support, so any disruption gets handled quietly, without pulling your delegation away from the agenda.
We track spending at every stage and deliver a full report once the program wraps, so finance has the numbers and you have proof of what the expedition delivered.
Every group is different, and so is what a day in the field should teach it.
Site visits go beyond the boardroom. A Get Americas learning expedition moves through concept stores redefining retail, coworking spaces built for collaboration, incubators backing the next wave of founders, and meetings where your delegation sits across from the people building what's next. Each day closes with a facilitated debrief, so what the team sees becomes what the team takes home.
For founders and early-stage teams, the objective is momentum: direct time with investors and operators willing to talk through what went wrong, a pitch session built around honest feedback, and enough unscheduled time for a hallway conversation to become the next meeting.
For leadership teams already running a business, the objective is perspective: peer-level meetings with executives facing the same strategic questions, and site visits chosen to challenge an existing model rather than confirm it, so the trip ends with decisions the company can act on.
Want to benchmark innovation, test a new market or put your leadership face to face with the companies redefining your industry? These are the hubs our delegations visit most, from the tech campuses of Silicon Valley to the trading floors of Wall Street and the research labs of Boston.
We also design learning expeditions in other innovation hubs of the USA and Canada. Have a specific industry or benchmark in mind? Tell us, and we will build the program around it.
A leading French university came to Get Americas wanting an immersion trip to Silicon Valley for its startup challenge laureates, researchers turned entrepreneurs. Their one requirement mattered more than the itinerary: put them in front of founders and investors willing to talk about the failures as openly as the wins, and give them at least one session where they could pitch their own project and get honest feedback, not a polite round of applause. Logistics needed to stay invisible, and the budget clear enough that nobody had to ask questions once the group was home. March 2022.
Our researchers came back with more than notes, they came back with sharper business plans and a global network. Sitting with top-tier mentors and real investors, hearing exactly what was missing from their pitch, did more for our laureates in a week than months of advice back home. Get Americas turned a group of scientists into founders.”
Three hubs, three lessons: how innovation is built in Silicon Valley, how finance and media meet in New York, and how a farming valley became a global luxury brand in Napa. Click a photo to discover each concept, then tell us your sector, your dates and your group size, and we will adapt it to your delegation.
A learning expedition often leads to the next trip: a sales kickoff, a reward for the top performers, a celebration of the year's results. Get Americas also designs incentive travel, corporate travel for meetings and conferences, events that celebrate success, agricultural trips for industry delegations, and travel to medical congresses for healthcare and life sciences delegations. The same team, the same standard, since 2009 across the Americas.
Every expedition we build across the USA and Canada teaches us something new, and we'd love to bring your team along for the next one. Tell us your sector and your questions, and we will take it from there.
