CLIENT STORIES

Corporate Team Experiences, Told by Our Clients

Trusted by teams across industries. Here is what organizers say about working with FullTilt.

“On behalf of the Management team, I would like to officially Thank You for leading our teams today through “End Hunger Games”! The feedback from our community was overwhelmingly positive and a great way to end our day. The donation to the Food Bank resonated with us all and was the best part of the exercise.”

Microsoft

End Hunger Games

“I am so happy that we worked with you for Capco’s event in Puerto Rico. I really can’t say enough good things about Kerry and his team. They were all incredibly helpful, fun, professional, and just plain great at their jobs. Such amazing attitudes, professionalism, and willingness to adapt. The feedback from participants has been overwhelming, everyone had such a great time.”

Capco

Beach Olympic Games

“I liked that different people can come together quickly when genuine effort is applied. We learned how to work together effectively. Teams can work well together when everyone is given space and opportunity to do what they do best. Teamwork can be achieved in a hectic setting.”

Teranet

Cross Boundary Comms Training

“Kerry, it was a pleasure meeting you. How you incorporated our characteristics and traits were perfect. I loved the elements to the boat building as well from negotiating, consulting, showcasing the product-all of it-YOU were the perfect fit for this dynamic team. What was created yesterday was epic and it will last with them for a lifetime. Thank you and thank you photos. I am sure we will be in touch.”

FCCS Consulting

Cross Boundary Comms Training

“The event was a huge success! Tom was amazing to work with! It created the common thread we wanted to pull through the entire meeting and beyond. Many mentioned how in the beginning they were skeptical and it seemed like an impossible task yet somehow over a short two hour period we were able to build a functional mechanism within our group AND connect the motions with two partner groups to achieve an extraordinary outcome.”

AstraZeneca

Cross Boundary Comms Training

“Kerry, the event was a HUGE success. People raved about how fun it was. This morning over breakfast, one participant told me they had participated in a lot of team-building activities, and this was by far the best 😊
‍
Thank you so much - we will definitely reach out in the future!”

Elekta

Cross Boundary Comms Training

“We had a great experience with Fulltilt and still have people from the field who enjoyed it so much. They've reached out to get contact information for their own partner's event to help with recommendations. The event itself was easy because the team set everything up, it created an incredible experience for those involved. I've never hosted an event where EVERYONE participated in a way like they did with the raceway.

As someone who has planned multiple in-person events / activities, I truly feel this was an actual unique activity that none of our field members had done before. They were excited, engaged, and had fun with it. If we have another in-person event, we will absolutely leverage Fulltilt (maybe even the same activity) again.

Can't recommend enough! If there are any other questions I might be able to provide, happy to!”

Kat Gerlich

Cross Boundary Comms Training

“It really was quite spectacular! It went better than I could have expected. Everyone was engaged and enthusiastic and Kerri did a great job running it all! Our Angela was amazing too and kept everything running smoothly!
‍
I will definitely share the feedback survey and pics with our team. Thank you for your help setting this all up and please let Kerri know we thought he did an amazing job!

I think the good word will spread and you will be getting some requests for info on your events.”

Spero Therapeutics

“The event was absolutely incredible. We received an outpour of feedback from the field sharing their gratitude for the event and many shared that this was the best event they've ever done. It allowed for incredible creativity, and the team really came together.”

BetterUp

Vice President, Head of Clinical Operations

“You and your team are rockstars! Everyone had an amazing time, lots of laughs and you nailed the theme of our building event. We simply couldn't have asked for anything more. We appreciate your enthusiasm and energy, it was contagious!

We really appreciate you taking pictures and videos for us!!”

Tokio Marine

“The event was really good. Tom is a self proclaimed Airbus fan, so that helped get us on side immediately!

The whole event was managed very well, the team learned a little more about each other as well as about themselves. Easy to follow activities creating a sense of understanding that while the activities were a game for us, to others it is their reality day in and day out.
‍
Tom and August did a lovely job and we go to meet the non-profit from where the chairs will be distributed.”

"The event was a success! Initially, my group was nervous about what this "culture activity" would entail, but the activity exceeded our expectations. I'm grateful for your help and look forward to future opportunities.

Again, thank you so much; it was an absolute pleasure working with you all!"

Capital Impact Partners

Cross Boundary Comms Training

"We built cardboard boats and sailed them in the hotel pool during our first offsite as a team since PepsiCo Labs doubled its size. Our time in Miami was revealing and energizing, reinforcing our tight-knit culture as we bring innovative tech solutions to solve PepsiCo's challenges.." 😊

#team #culture #fun

PepsiCo

"The Team Building went great and Kerry did a terrific job of integrating salient points with our morning Keynote. We did have some participants that wished we had spent more time on the Domino Effect and a little less on the paper challenge, but I think a lot of take aways came from both activities and the overall group wanted to keep trying. We are gathering feedback with a survey and will share more with you next week.

Thank you!"

“I believe it has been one of the best training we have ever had. The activities were well planned, it kept the staff well engaged and generated a lot of reflection. We were able to get some tools and skills that can be implemented in our personal lives and professional careers.
I think, time was the only thing that we were short of but I know we were trying to cover a lot of topics within the limited time that we had."

“5 stars! Scott & Mike were so wonderful to work with. They both answered every single question we had and jumped on numerous calls leading up to our event. They made the entire process seamless and handled everything professionally. Our leadership team really enjoyed all of the challenges and the bike build. Mike was energetic and we had a blast! It was a great way to get to know each other better and have some fun outside of our meetings. Thank you so much Scott, Mike, & FullTilt team!”

San Francisco SEASON GUIDE

The San Francisco Team Event Calendar, Decoded

San Francisco weather is beautiful but demanding. Use our official corporate calendar to pick the perfect event format for your target month.

PRIME OUTDOOR

September–October
Early fall often brings relatively warm daytime conditions, making outdoor sessions appealing while still requiring layers and a forecast check.

FOG AWARE OUTDOOR

April–August
Drier months can support outdoor activities, but waterfront fog and wind call for layers, sheltered settings and flexible timing.

INDOOR FIRST

November–March
Wetter winter conditions favor offices, meeting rooms and private event venues, with outdoor segments added when the forecast supports them.
1

Early Fall Window

Consider September and October for a Presidio retreat or Marina waterfront gathering. Confirm the activity area and wind exposure, and ask participants to bring layers even when downtown conditions look warm.
2

Winter Rain Strategy

For November through March, reserve an indoor base such as Convene 100 Stockton. Confirm that the room accommodates both participants and activity equipment before adding optional outdoor time to the agenda.
3

Waterfront Wind Check

At the Presidio or Fort Mason waterfront, review exposure before choosing lightweight materials or flight activities. The venue and facilitator should agree on permitted equipment and the conditions that trigger an indoor plan.
4

Bay Area Arrivals

Ask where attendees are starting before choosing a San Francisco venue. A group traveling from elsewhere in the Bay Area needs a different arrival window from colleagues staying near Union Square.
Charity Team Building

Charity Team Building in San Francisco That Gives Back

Give your San Francisco offsite a practical community purpose with Bike Build or Hygiene Kit Assembly. Teams collaborate on useful items while planning stays focused on a local nonprofit’s stated needs. Confirm what the recipient can accept and how donations will be collected before finalizing the activity.

San Francisco QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Planning FAQs

Can you run an event at our San Francisco office?

Yes. FullTilt can deliver an activity at your office when the space and building access are suitable. For a San Francisco workplace, send the room layout, delivery entrance and security requirements. An on-site program can be a practical choice when colleagues are already gathering in the city for a meeting day.

We have 200+ people at a San Francisco conference. Can you handle that?

Yes. FullTilt offers formats for large corporate groups, including 200 or more participants. Share the conference agenda and room plan so we can recommend team sizes, stations and a workable session flow. For a San Francisco venue, equipment access and the room turnaround are important parts of that plan.

What are the best outdoor spots for team building in San Francisco?

The Log Cabin at the Presidio offers a lawn and patio alongside its indoor venue, subject to the operator’s activity approval and capacity. September and October are useful outdoor starting months. Confirm the reserved area, wind exposure and equipment rules rather than assuming the surrounding Presidio grounds are included.

How far in advance should we book a San Francisco team event?

Two to four weeks is a useful planning baseline for many San Francisco events. Allow four to six weeks or more for large groups, peak conference dates or venues needing permits. Check building access, delivery times and any Presidio outdoor permissions alongside staffing and activity materials.

What types of team building activities work best in San Francisco?

Domino Effect, Elevated Raceway and Bike Build suit an indoor collaboration agenda. Wild Goose Chase (Scavenger Hunt) or Mission Incredible can work at an appropriate outdoor location. In San Francisco, choose around the group’s goals and the site’s wind exposure, walking route and usable space rather than the season alone.

Can FullTilt bring a team building event to our hotel or conference venue in San Francisco?

Yes, where the venue approves the activity and external facilitators. FullTilt can coordinate the program requirements with your planner. Confirm the loading entrance, delivery times, room layout and sound restrictions early, especially if the event uses a shared conference space or a room that must be reset between sessions.

What team building activities work well for large corporate groups in San Francisco?

A program with smaller working teams can keep a large group involved without relying on one central performance. Domino Effect or Bike Build are options to discuss for a suitable indoor venue. If attendees are traveling into San Francisco from several Bay Area locations, allow a clear arrival window before the briefing.

Do you offer indoor team building activities in San Francisco?

Yes. Indoor formats can be delivered at offices, hotel ballrooms or private event spaces. Consider Domino Effect, Elevated Raceway or Bike Build depending on your goals and room layout. Indoor planning is especially useful during the wetter winter months and for waterfront events that need protection from wind.

Do you offer outdoor team building activities in San Francisco?

Yes. Wild Goose Chase (Scavenger Hunt) or Mission Incredible can suit an approved outdoor setting, including a permitted Presidio area where the format fits. September and October are useful starting months. Confirm routes, wind exposure, equipment rules and an indoor alternative, particularly for groups unfamiliar with San Francisco’s coastal conditions.

Can you customize a San Francisco team building event for our company goals?

Yes. Tell us what you want the group to practice, such as decision-making, cross-functional communication or onboarding. For colleagues meeting in San Francisco after working remotely or across the Bay Area, we can recommend a format that mixes teams intentionally and leaves room to discuss what worked.

What is the best time of year for team building in San Francisco?

September and October are useful starting months for outdoor team building at the Presidio or another approved San Francisco setting. Spring and summer can also work with plans for waterfront fog and wind. During November through March, reserve an indoor base and use the local forecast to decide on outdoor time.

Do you offer team building for corporate retreats and conferences in San Francisco?

Yes. Share the venue, attendee origins and available session window. FullTilt can recommend an activity that complements the meeting goals and allows for setup and room reset. For a short San Francisco agenda, keeping the program at the meeting property may be simpler than transferring everyone to a second location.
