Orangeworks is delighted to announce that we have secured a global conference for Ireland!
Catalyst Global, the world’s leading curator of team building products and the largest team building organisation globally, in partnership with Orangeworks, will host the Global Team Development Industry Conference in August 2020.
130 + delegates from 53 countries around the world will come together for the conference which will focus on collaborative power through peer connection with industry equals that share the same values. It will introduce a Global Network Gateway where face-to-face sharing and experiential learning is encouraged, reflective of the speed of change in the market and the requirements of organisations at both local and global levels. Building closer relationships between global partners will be a key focus of the conference along with the release of new global products to market and of course celebrating successes within the network too.
In 2018, the Catalyst Global Network gathered in South Africa. The theme of the conference was Evolution and new products such as ‘The Infinite Loop’, the world’s first Virtual Reality Team Building game was launched. Delegates from each partner country came together to participate in a variety of new-to-market team building experiences and of course experience incentive activities including safaris and expeditions into the bush!
This year, Orangeworks is hosting and delegates will converge in the Wicklow Mountains for the four day conference retreat at The Brooklodge Hotel, Macreddin Village, Co.Wicklow.
