From Dublin to Kilkenny: A Seminar Blending Sport and Warmth

Between cruises on the Irish Sea, 4x4 adventures, hidden distilleries and lively pubs, participants experienced five days of discovery, emotion and surprise — an authentic, elegant and delightfully Irish immersion.

 50 participants

How do you surprise managers who have already seen it all?

That was the challenge our team embraced with this one-of-a-kind seminar, designed for a French network in the mechanical industry wishing to offer its managers a rare, genuine and unforgettable experience.

Ireland quickly became the obvious choice: a land of character, mystery and humanity, where every encounter becomes a story worth telling.

In the afternoon, participants embark on a sea cruise across the Irish Sea, some enjoying a platter of antipasti as they take in the waves.

Upon arrival at Dublin Marina, the urban and festive programme begins: a pub crawl through the lively streets of Temple Bar, filled with live music, local anecdotes and laughter.
