Off the Clock started with a familiar job: you're heading to a conference with colleagues or clients, and you need a dinner with a private room, something to do as a group, and an agenda everyone can follow. That usually means a dozen tabs and a spreadsheet. This puts it in one place.
An independent guide to the evening side of business travel, with a free trip planner. Every city has client dinners with private or semi-private rooms, group activities, home games and the conferences coming to town. You can turn any of it into a day-by-day agenda, share it with the group, and print it or add it to your calendar.
We check our 67 picks against each venue's own website on a rolling basis, refresh game schedules daily, add conferences every week and new cities twice a week. Every pick shows the date it was last checked. How we pick explains what earns a place on the list.
Venues can't pay to be picked or to change what we say about them. Some links may earn us a commission if you book, which never affects what we recommend. If we ever offer featured placements, they'll be clearly labelled and kept apart from our picks.
