The meeting nobody falls asleep in.

Corporate Team-Building Events

Daryl's corporate show is equal parts education and entertainment — a 60-to-90-minute live experience that gets your team out of their heads and into the moment.

  • 60–90 minute live show with 8–12 live snakes
  • Hands-on handling opportunities for willing participants
  • Custom messaging tie-ins (teamwork, adaptability, facing fear)
  • Q&A and debrief segment
  • Setup and breakdown handled by Daryl's team
Ideal for Team off-sites, onboarding events, client appreciation days, leadership retreats
