A few best practice tips for hosting a great 4th of July corporate event:

• Beware of scheduling: The 4th of July is a federal holiday, and this year it lands on a Tuesday! Make sure you schedule your celebrations the week leading up to the holiday, and that it does not interfere with any upcoming deadlines or projects.

• Participation is optional: We believe in creating fun and inclusive experiences all colleagues can enjoy, but these are optional experiences! We recommend contacting your teams in advance to gauge participants and interest. 

• Focus on fun: Levels of patriotism may vary across different teams at home and internationally for global teams. While the theme may be Independence Day, our goal never changes: creating fun and inclusive opportunities for connection and fun! Team building is at the core of all holiday celebrations.
