Here at VOQIN’, we’ve had an exhilarating few months, with over 50 events in just the second quarter! A sea of corporate meetings and events, across Portugal and Spain, each tailored to deliver unique and engaging experiences. From breathtaking seaside retreats to incredible event production, our goal has always been to create unforgettable moments that align with our clients’ objectives.
Our team has been riding high on this wave of activity, and now that we find ourselves mid-year, it’s time to pause, recognize all the effort, reflect on the past six months, and strategize for the exciting journey that follows. And, since it’s the height of summer, we are also diving into how to blend ocean-side business and sustainability to make a splash in the industry in the months ahead.
As you’ll notice, even if our feet aren’t already on a sandy beach looking into the blue ocean, our minds are, and we can’t help but make it all about the sea.
Turn of the Tide: Hit Pause and Re-focus
Mid-year is a pivotal time for many companies to evaluate their progress and realign their goals. It’s crucial to measure results, recognize team efforts, and make sure everyone is aligned and on board. The perfect occasion for a company meeting!
At VOQIN’, we got together at the beginning of July and stopped for a day. A day filled with insights and leads for the upcoming semester, but also a day of joy and connection.
Whether it’s the stunning events we’ve pulled off or the innovative solutions we’ve implemented, every success is a testament to our team’s dedication and creativity. Culture is a vital part of VOQIN’s strategy, and being a Voqer doesn’t just happen by chance.
We all wore our sparq—our superpower—close to our hearts and used both deep reflection and laughable moments to underline the need for focus and unity. We left energized to achieve our summit by the end of the year!
What you focus on grows, what you think about expands, and what you dwell upon determines your destiny. – Robin Sharma
By the Sea: Stress-Free, Worry-Free, and… Plastic-Free
But July is not just the perfect moment to hit pause and reflect. It also calls upon another type of effort, one that we are using to bring innovation and new ideas for your next event, prompting us to think critically about our environmental impact: the global Plastic Free July initiative.
We’ve been looking into our sustainable practices, raising awareness of easy-to-implement ideas, from using eco-friendly materials to organizing beach clean-ups as part of our event packages. These initiatives support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 14, aimed at protecting life below water. A perfect fit for this time of the year, right?
Picture this: A corporate meeting set on a pristine beach, where the agenda includes team-building activities inspired by marine conservation. Or imagine a networking event on a yacht, with discussions centered around sustainable practices and ocean preservation. By infusing a bit of summer, we create environments that are not only productive but also memorable and fun.

Beyond the Silly Season
If you haven’t had the chance to assess this past semester and give it a boost for the challenges ahead, there is still time!
We are looking into the next couple of months and the wonderful opportunities for corporate events, enjoying September’s warm breeze under the sun and magical skies, ocean-related programs that embrace sustainability, and making impactful decisions.
Whether it’s a strategic planning session, a team-building retreat, or a large-scale conference, we’ll ensure it’s an experience to remember.
Don’t forget, September and October are ideal for corporate meetings and incentives. The weather is just right, and it’s the perfect time to explore the beauty of Portugal and Spain. And if you are divided, why not plan your corporate meeting or incentive in two cities?
Whether you’re enjoying a beachside retreat or simply taking a breather at home, use this time to regain the energy needed to finish the year strong.
Let’s ride this wave together and make the rest of 2024 remarkable. Enjoy your summer and see you soon!
