I love this, and I have implemented all of these tips at previous conferences/offsites. I also try to organize some group workouts, though to date I've succeeded 4x each with a single coworker (and no repeat guests).
At our last offsite, I was lucky enough to have someone who was VERY considerate (and also a bodybuilder) doing the event planning. The snack buffet had all the normal crap...but it also had Quest snacks and various protein bars.
Bringing your own snacks is key to surviving basically any social situation nowadays, though, and a primary reason I have embraced carrying a bag pretty much everywhere. :)
Depends on the bag or the day, but always Maui Nui sticks for me and Paleo Valley sticks for the kids. Sometimes Epic bars. Occasionally, some Kind bars or Kion bars for a treat.
Helpful tips. I go for the chomps at Trader Joe’s. Rapanui is wildly expensive. Carbs and sugar is the default at meetings. Going offsite is always brilliant.

I feel you on the group workouts. I'll let you know how our "hiking offsite" goes. Sometime I want to know what's in your "snack bag!"

did not know that Nuun tablets were useful for regular hydration in non-exercise situations (like company offsites!)
But this summer my doubles partner was cramping up during a hot day so I gave him my tablets - it saved him!
alcohol - yes, avoid, sorry to be a party-pooper. Especially while flying
