Filled with gifts and products from only local businesses, each box is designed to help your recruit or new hire (whether C-suite, midlevel or entry level) experience and explore Columbus.

All Columbus Welcome Boxes will include the Experience Columbus Visitor Guide, Things to Do Guide and other materials based on the recipient’s interests.
