Why The Mint Is Ideal for Leadership Summits and Business Retreats

0:00

When planning a leadership summit or business retreat that requires tangible results, the venue sets the tone for everything that follows. Here at The Mint in Lenexa, we've transformed a former financial institution into something unexpected: a space where teams genuinely want to spend time together, where presentations feel engaging rather than endless, and where your message lands with impact.

A Venue Built for Business Impact

Our 18,000 square feet gives your team room to think differently. The main hall spans 7,000 square feet and accommodates up to 350 attendees, while Benjamin Hall offers 2,500 square feet for up to 225 participants. What makes this combination work so well for business groups? You can run concurrent sessions, split into breakout groups, or use one space for presentations while the other transforms for your networking reception.

The old ATM drive-thru lanes that are now part of Benjamin Hall feature glass garage doors that open onto a private patio. During breaks, your team can step outside, reset, and return refreshed. We've found that this indoor-outdoor flow changes the energy of day-long sessions.

Technology That Amplifies Your Message

Our 32-foot-wide projector screen isn't just large, it's the biggest in Kansas City. Your quarterly results, strategic plans, and team achievements display with the clarity they deserve. The Sonos surround sound system means every participant hears your message clearly, whether they're seated in the front row or standing near the vault bar during your networking hour.

With ceiling-mounted speakers that distribute audio evenly across the entire space and LED overhead lights you can customize to your brand colors, we handle the technical details so you can focus on content. WiFi and a full A/V setup come standard with your booking.

Team Building That Actually Builds Teams

We know the afternoon slump is real. That's why we've developed activities that get people moving and connecting. Our "Rob the Bank" game uses our building's history as a financial institution to create something memorable. Gingerbread house competitions bring out creativity and collaboration. We also offer customized formats for Jeopardy, Family Feud, Cake Competition, and Minute to Win It, tailored to your group.

Through our partnership with Acumen Impact, we can incorporate leadership content on trust, high-stakes conversations, building effective teams, leadership and coaching, or accountability directly into your agenda. These aren't generic presentations. They're tailored sessions that complement your retreat objectives.

Service Details That Matter

The Mint venue team handles the logistics so you can focus on your people. We provide setup for up to 350 gold Chiavari chairs, thirty 60-inch round tables that seat eight comfortably, eight rectangular tables, and ten cocktail tables. Need a different configuration between morning and afternoon sessions? We handle that transition.

The vault bar serves as a natural gathering point during breaks and can operate throughout your event. Our catering kitchen collaborates with your selected caterer to ensure a smooth service. With 250+ parking spots on site and ADA-compliant access at both our north and south entrances, arrival stays simple for everyone.

Conclusion

We're open from 9 am to midnight every day, giving you flexibility for early starts or evening receptions. Located at 12345 W 95th St in Lenexa, just five minutes from Overland Park and conveniently accessible via the I-435 and 95th Street exit, we're easily reachable for both local teams and out-of-town executives.

Your leadership summit or business retreat deserves more than a standard conference room. It deserves a space that energizes your team, supports your technology needs, and creates the right atmosphere for the work you need to accomplish. Let's discuss how The Mint can support your next business gathering.
