THE RESULT

This was a very rich program with a complex organization.

We had several project managers and hosts teams on site, following all the groups and managing the distribution of the participants per activities – always with the excellence and passion that define us.

Our team selected the most top venues in Lisbon, and local townhalls. The group could meet a bit of Portuguese traditions, flavours, music, etc.

Client feedback

All the group participants testimonials were outstanding, our team was highly praised. Maritz team, a regular partner, kept in contact with us for other program planning, as usual. We are very glad and happy to participate in excited projects like this one!
