XL Online Marketing
XL Online Marketing, a Malaysia-based company specializing in digital marketing consultancy and investment education, had the pleasure of visiting the SBC Summit Lisbon. During the week of the event, they were able to participate in several networking sessions, panel discussions, and strategic workshops.
On September 15, after an intense first day of conferences, the team decided to relax and admire the beauty of Lisbon from the Tagus River. A boat trip was organized with us, providing stunning views of the Lisbon shores: from the Belém Tower and the Jerónimos Monastery to the Padrão dos Descobrimentos.

Boat trip: integration, leisure, and corporate in sight
To strengthen team spirit, Greentube offered its employees a boat trip with Lisbon Sight Sailing, which started and ended at the Parque das Nações Marina and took place along the Expo area. The event combined live music — with DJ and saxophonist —, a relaxed atmosphere, and views over the Tagus, offering a moment of relaxation and socializing, away from the formality of auditoriums and stands.
The trip held on September 16 started and ended at the Parque das Nações marina and passengers were able to enjoy views such as the Vasco da Gama Bridge, Lisbon Oceanarium, Vasco da Gama Tower & Hotel Myriad, Parque das Nações Cable Car, among others.


Lisbon Sight Sailing and the power of nautical corporate events
Lisbon Sight Sailing stands out for offering unique experiences on the Tagus, from tourist trips, sunsets, parties & events, to customized corporate programs.
Corporate events on board include team building, exclusive lunches or dinners, networking events, as well as celebrations of achievements or product launches. From live music, refined gastronomy, tailor-made routes, and an exclusive atmosphere, everything is designed to provide unforgettable moments and bring teams and partners closer together.
Greentube’s trip illustrates well the value of integrating moments of socializing and leisure into an intense conference agenda. At fairs like the SBC Summit, where many participants spend hours in meetings, stands, or presentation sessions, providing parallel experiences, such as a peaceful trip along the Tagus, creates benefits that go beyond rest: it strengthens team spirit, stimulates informal conversations that often result in partnerships, ideas, or simply renewed motivation.
Lisbon Sight Sailing offers precisely that privileged setting: the river as a stage, the city as a frame, customization as a differentiator. For companies that want to make the most of international events — or simply surprise their teams — combining participation in events like the SBC Summit with creative activations on board can be a winning formula.
The next edition of the SBC Summit 2026 will be in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on March 3 to 5 and will return again to Lisbon from September 29 to October 1, 2026!
