Impact Experiences offers on-property activities that can be incorporated in the conference agenda during lunch breaks, receptions and coffee breaks, including:
- Partnering with the hotel’s culinary team to prepare the ingredients for a regionally adapted dish for donation to a local hunger relief organization;
- Assembling school supplies and art materials in backpacks for donation to students whose academic success is threatened by poverty;
- Collaborating in teams to assemble emergency preparedness kits for shipping to a disaster relief facility or community organization;
- Designing and creating greetings and birthday cards for children in a local pediatric healthcare facility or children’s organization.

Additionally, Signature Impact Experiences invite our group guests to take part in an off-site volunteer activity, unique to the destination.
A Winning Park
Forest Park in the heart of St. Louis is officially the best city park in the U.S., no surprise given its 1,400 acres that house such cultural treasures as the Saint Louis Art Museum, the Saint Louis Zoo, the Science Center’s James S. McDonnell Planetarium — and more. Group guests can help Forest Park Forever sustain this urban oasis and preserve its history. Team-building activities, from beautification brigades to flora management programs, are designed to maximize and maintain the beautiful surroundings.
Please contact your meetings and special events professional for details on how Impact Experiences can be matched to your group's interests and goals.
Environmental Responsibility
Meetings and events at The Ritz-Carlton are carefully designed to create an unparalleled guest experience while protecting our natural resources. Together with our property-based Ritz-Carlton Environmental Action Conservation Teams (REACT), you and your attendees can support our efforts to reduce our environmental imprint and make a meaningful difference. Within our hotels, we reduce energy and water usage, offer a linen and terry reuse program, and utilize environmentally preferable cleaning products. Our meeting venues support a sustainable future by offering recycled paper products and pens, water service options, organic and local food and sustainable seafood options.
