A Successful Alliance

Corporate event in Lisbon

In the context of the Annual Global Membership Conference of Employment Law Alliance,  a group of 40 guests from different countries had the opportunity to participate in a private tour on a classic sailboat, and enjoy the city of Lisbon during the unforgettable October sunset.

During the tour a cocktail and buffet dinner were served – details of Portuguese culture and cuisine – which were greatly appreciated by all participants. This moment made it possible to strengthen the ties between the guests, reinforcing their sense of belonging to the group and further improving the existing relationships in a relaxed and relaxing mode.

This was the perfect way to end the conference and was also considered as the highlight of their stay in Lisbon. Read here the testimony of one of the participants of this event.

More and better and better

It is a fact that more and more companies around the world have been systematically looking for Portugal, and specifically Lisbon, to hold corporate events. Many of these events have team building and networking goals.

Also major international events have chosen Lisbon as the venue. Recently and successfully completed Web Summit 2019. It is Europe’s largest technology conference and this year has had over 70.000 attendees. In 2020, the Portuguese capital will host the world’s largest sustainable innovation event, Planetiers World Gathering, which will feature internationally renowned personalities. Also in 2020, Lisbon will host the Social Good Summit where the Goals for Sustainable Development will be discussed. They are just a few of many examples of corporate events in Lisbon we can proudly mention.

Lisbon among European cities with greater cultural dynamism

Multifaceted and cosmopolitan, Lisbon remains a reference in studies carried out by international organizations. This was the case of the Observatory on Cultural and Creative Cities, an online tool created by the European Commission, which considered it one of the most dynamic European cities.

Events in Portugal, obviously

In fact, with eight centuries of history, 3000 hours of sunshine a year, 850 kms of the Atlantic coast, Portugal has a set of unique and highly valued attributes.

With a great diversity of landscapes within walking distance, it offers remarkable experiences in leisure activities with strong historical links to heritage, tradition and culture. This safe and mild European country is the perfect destination in all seasons.

The infrastructures are very well prepared
