New offerings combine accommodations, meetings, golf, recreation, dining and customizable activities for corporate groups

CALLICOON, N.Y

The Villa Roma Resort has launched a new corporate retreat offering for companies planning leadership retreats, team offsites, employee gatherings, incentive programs, corporate celebrations and team-building activities.

The September launch introduces three corporate experiences: Summer Send-Off, Golf Getaway and Ultimate Corporate Escape. The packages combine accommodations and business gatherings with golf, recreation, dining, wellness and other resort activities.

“Companies are rethinking what a successful team gathering looks like,” said Sandeep Wadhwa, Chairman, The Villa Roma Resort. “A corporate retreat should offer more than a meeting room. It should give people the opportunity to work together, recharge, connect and experience something together. Villa Roma brings those elements into one destination.”

The Summer Send-Off provides a two-night retreat experience with accommodations, daily breakfast, dinner, entertainment and access to recreational facilities.

The Golf Getaway incorporates an 18-hole golf experience for companies planning corporate outings, tournaments, team activities or informal rounds.

The Ultimate Corporate Escape combines golf with resort amenities, late checkout and opportunities to participate in wellness, recreation, dining and entertainment activities.

The packages can also be adapted to individual company requirements, allowing organizations to combine meetings and business sessions with recreational and group activities.

Corporate Retreat Activities

The new offering includes opportunities for companies to incorporate wellness and recreational activities into retreat schedules. Groups can also arrange customized programming involving team-building activities, recreation, dining and evening entertainment.

Villa Roma’s 18-hole PGA Golf Course provides an option for corporate tournaments, team competitions and informal rounds. The resort also has an Indoor Golf Simulator, providing an additional golf option as temperatures change during the fall and winter months.

The recently renovated The 19th Hole provides a setting for team meals, post-golf gatherings and networking. The sports bar overlooks the golf course and includes indoor and outdoor seating, food and beverage service and live sports viewing.

Corporate groups can also use the resort’s indoor and outdoor recreational facilities, swimming pools, wellness amenities, live entertainment and dining venues. Meeting spaces and accommodations allow groups to organize multiple components of a retreat at one property.

A September Launch for Corporate Groups

The new packages launch in September 2026, as companies enter the fall business calendar and begin planning leadership retreats, employee gatherings, incentive programs and corporate events.

Villa Roma’s location in Callicoon, Sullivan County, New York, approximately two and a half hours from New York City, provides a drive-to option for organizations in the New York metropolitan area and the wider Northeast.

The seasonal setting also gives companies the option of incorporating outdoor activities and golf into retreat schedules while using indoor recreation, wellness, dining and entertainment facilities as the weather changes.

“Our focus is on creating a setting where teams can combine meetings with opportunities to connect, dine, participate in activities and spend time together,” Wadhwa said. “The meetings remain important, but so are the conversations that happen over dinner, during a round of golf, through a wellness experience or while taking part in an activity together.”

Villa Roma will welcome corporate groups throughout the year for meetings, retreats, incentive programs, wellness-focused gatherings and team experiences.

AI-native event platform introduces autonomous social media management, intelligent networking, automated creative, next-generation ticketing, memberships, and expanded event automation

Conphere, the human-centric event and conference management platform built for the AI era, today announced the release of Conphere Platform 1.5 — latest update yet and the first to bring its full suite of AI agents to organizers, along with a redesigned ticketing experience and a new membership model for attendees.

While legacy event platforms bolt AI features onto rigid, transaction-first systems, Conphere was built from the ground up on a simple premise: technology should make human connection easier, not harder — and it should handle the busywork so people don’t have to. This Conphere release marks an important step toward the company’s broader vision of building an AI-native operating platform for events—one that connects event data, people, workflows, communications, and intelligence while reducing the repetitive work traditionally required to run conferences and events.

“Events are fundamentally about human connection, yet organizers spend an extraordinary amount of time on repetitive operational work,” said Faisal Mushtaq, Founder & CEO at Conphere. “With Conphere 1.5, we’re putting AI to work behind the scenes so organizers can spend less time managing tasks and more time building communities and creating exceptional event experiences.”

AI Agents Come to Event Management

At the center of Conphere 1.5 is the new AI multi-agent framework, using event data—including speakers, sessions, sponsors, exhibitors, and more—the agent can generate platform-specific social content and branded event collateral, schedule publication, automate various operational tasks, and help organizers track performance.

Unlike traditional AI writing tools that respond to individual prompts, Conphere’s approach is built around agents that understand an event’s context and can increasingly execute workflows on behalf of organizers.

Smarter Networking and Stronger Communities

Conphere 1.5 also introduces an AI Networking Engine designed to help attendees discover relevant people based on profiles, interests, and event context, while supporting introductions, meetings, and follow-up.

A new membership platform enables organizers to offer individual and corporate memberships across multiple events, helping conference organizations extend engagement beyond a single event and build year-round communities.

Next-Generation Ticketing and Event Operations

The release includes a rearchitected ticketing platform with multiple ticket types and real-time revenue analytics, along with enhancements across check-in, attendee communications, access control, badging, and engagement.

Building an AI Workforce for Event Organizers

The Social Media Agent is the first of a broader family of specialized Conphere AI agents.

Additional agents focused on sponsor and exhibitor growth, attendee support, speaker and agenda operations, event logistics, and executive analytics are in development.

Together, these capabilities are designed to move event technology beyond individual productivity tools to an AI-native operations layer that supports the entire event lifecycle.

“Our long-term vision is not simply to add AI features to event software,” added Faisal Mushtaq. “We are building an intelligent operating platform where AI agents can work alongside event teams across marketing, operations, networking, revenue, and analytics—while keeping people and human connection at the center.”

Availability

Conphere 1.5 is available now to new and existing Conphere customers.

Luxury fashion discovery platform REVERSIBLE launches a new beauty destination spanning skincare, makeup, haircare and fragrance, bringing product discovery, cross-retailer comparison and personalized recommendations into one shopping experience.

San Jose, CA

REVERSIBLE, the discovery platform known for helping consumers navigate luxury fashion across brands and retailers, today announced its expansion into beauty with the launch of a new destination for prestige skincare, makeup, haircare and fragrance.

The expansion brings REVERSIBLE’s discovery-first approach to a category where online shoppers often face a familiar challenge: finding a product is only the beginning. The same beauty item may be available across multiple retailers at different prices, while shades, sizes, availability and offers can vary from one destination to another.

REVERSIBLE Beauty is designed to bring that fragmented experience together.

Rather than forcing shoppers to move between multiple retailer websites, REVERSIBLE organizes beauty discovery around the product itself, allowing users to explore available purchasing options across retailers and compare information such as pricing and availability in one place.

For consumers searching for a particular foundation shade, a specific fragrance size or a prestige skincare product, the experience is designed to make comparison a natural part of discovery rather than a separate shopping task.

Bringing the REVERSIBLE Model From Fashion to Beauty

REVERSIBLE built its platform around a simple idea: having more choices does not necessarily make online shopping easier.

In luxury fashion, consumers may encounter the same designer item across numerous retailers, each with different inventory and pricing. Beauty introduces another layer of complexity. A single foundation can come in dozens of shades, a fragrance can be offered in multiple sizes and concentrations, and the same skincare product may appear across department stores, specialty beauty retailers and brand websites.

With its expansion into beauty, REVERSIBLE is applying the same technology-driven approach it has developed for fashion to help consumers navigate those options more efficiently.

Instead of treating each retailer as a separate shopping destination, the platform creates a broader view of the market around the products consumers are already interested in.

“Beauty was a natural next step for REVERSIBLE because discovery is such an important part of the category,” said Deng , founder of REVERSIBLE. “Consumers are constantly discovering new products through creators, social media and recommendations, but finding the exact product, shade or size they want—and understanding the options available across retailers—can still be surprisingly complicated. We wanted to make that journey much simpler.”

From Endless Searching to Smarter Discovery

Price and availability are only part of the challenge facing beauty shoppers. The other is abundance.

With thousands of products competing for attention online, consumers may have greater access to beauty than ever before while simultaneously finding it more difficult to decide what is actually relevant to them.

REVERSIBLE brings personalized recommendations into the experience, helping users discover products based on their interests and shopping journey rather than requiring them to begin every search with a specific product in mind.

This approach reflects the increasingly discovery-driven nature of beauty commerce. Consumers may begin with a specific product in mind, but they also discover beauty through trends, routines, creators and aesthetics.

REVERSIBLE is designed to support both behaviors: helping shoppers find something specific when they know what they want, while also making it easier to discover what they might want next.

Turning Beauty Inspiration Into a Shoppable Experience

The expansion also brings REVERSIBLE’s visual discovery tools into beauty.

Through the platform’s interactive Moodboard feature, users can curate and publish collections built around products, routines and aesthetics. A moodboard might center on a seasonal makeup palette, a skincare routine, a fragrance wardrobe or a broader beauty aesthetic, turning individual products into a visual and shoppable story.

Alongside the category launch, REVERSIBLE is also extending its Creator Program into beauty.

Beauty creators and other tastemakers can curate products and build shoppable moodboards on the platform. Participating creators can earn commissions on qualifying sales generated through their content across REVERSIBLE’s retail network.

The expansion creates another connection between inspiration and commerce, giving consumers a way to move from discovering a product or aesthetic to exploring where those products are available.

Building a Broader Discovery Platform

The beauty launch represents a significant expansion for REVERSIBLE beyond its roots in luxury fashion.

As online retail continues to give consumers more brands, products and places to shop, the challenge is increasingly shifting from access to navigation.

REVERSIBLE is building around that shift by bringing discovery, retailer comparison, personalization and visual inspiration into a more connected shopping experience.

For beauty shoppers, that could mean fewer tabs, less repetitive searching and a clearer view of the products and purchasing options available to them.

And for REVERSIBLE, Beauty marks the next step toward a broader vision: creating a destination where technology helps consumers navigate an increasingly crowded world of fashion and beauty with greater ease and confidence.
