Summer, Sun, MICE: The ultimate bucket list for your next event

Grüezi! Servus! Hello!

We hope these lines are reaching you in the best summer mood – even if the weather outside is calling for “outdoor organic air conditioning” and wellies. Summer is finally here, and with it the time for vacations and relaxation. Whether you’re basking in the southern sun on the beach, exploring the majestic mountains or simply taking a relaxing trip to “balconies” – enjoy the moment!

Here are a few summer thoughts to put a smile on your face:

  • Ice Cream Strategy: Ice cream has no calories on vacation, it’s scientifically proven.
  • Anti-crab strategy: Don’t forget sunscreen – no one wants to become a crab crab!
  • Water strategy: Drink lots of water and don’t forget, water fights are a must in summer! Fancy a virtual water fight?
  • Solar strategy: Sun also recharges human batteries, even better than doing nothing; or was it the other way around?
  • The best strategy: Carpe Diem! Seize the day as if there were no tomorrow.

Off to a fantastic vacation!

Please soak up the sun for us, because we’re not on vacation. Instead, we’re expanding our knowledge and looking for the best MICE destinations for you. Whether in a beach chair with your feet in the sand, shopping in the city with a popsicle or island hopping – we’ll find the best, most beautiful and most unusual places for your MICE bucket list this summer.

Our camera and our spirit of discovery are always on hand to find the ultimate “places to meet” for your next event. But don’t worry, we’re not all on the road and out of reach. Our offices are always staffed! We even have capacity available for last-minute “vacation replacements”. So if there’s an appointment on your to-do list that you’d like us to clarify – we’ll be there to take care of it while you relax and recover.

The hottest summer MICE destinations that will make your colleagues sweat!

1. Beach paradises on the North Sea and Baltic Sea

Imagine your next meeting taking place on the beautiful beaches of the North Sea or Baltic Sea. The sound of the waves in the background and the fresh sea air create a relaxed and productive atmosphere. Places like Rostock, Kiel, Flensburg, Husum or the Danish coast offer the perfect backdrop for unforgettable MICE events. Why not plan a beach volleyball tournament and promote team spirit on the beach? Smiling faces as seagulls circle overhead and sand crunches in your shoes. Don’t worry about the cheeky seagulls – they might catch your fish sandwich, but you’ll have a funny anecdote for your colleagues! And the crowning glory: a sailing trip at sunset, where you can leave everyday life behind you and really blow your mind.

2. Mountain adventure in the Alps

The Alps are not only a highlight in winter – in summer they turn into an adventure paradise. With their picturesque mountain landscapes, they offer a multitude of opportunities for team-building activities that will turn even the toughest office worker into a mountain goat tamer. Whether it’s hiking in Switzerland, climbing in Austria, mountain biking in Bavaria or paragliding in the French Alps – the fresh mountain air and breathtaking views promote team spirit and creativity. Why not start the day with a relaxing sunrise yoga session in the mountains? And don’t miss the fun “cowbell concert”, where teams try to play a melody with different cowbells – the result is a symphonic mess that is guaranteed to make you laugh!

3. City trips to historic cities

Discover the cultural and culinary treasures of European cities. Cities such as Vienna, Munich, Zurich and Prague not only offer impressive venues, but also a wide range of leisure activities for your participants. Here, impressive venues meet leisure activities that will make even the strictest boss smile. Combine work and pleasure at the highest level – and don’t forget the city tour in Vienna, where you can learn how to properly swing a Wiener Schnitzel without hitting the secretary! This is multitasking at the highest level!

4. Mediterranean feeling in Italy and Spain

How about a meeting in a magnificent Italian palazzo in Rome or a conference room with a breathtaking sea view in Barcelona? The Mediterranean climate, delicious cuisine and relaxed way of life make these locations perfect destinations for MICE events. Soak up the sun, plan a sailing trip on the Mediterranean or indulge in a wine tasting in Tuscany. And who knows, maybe your meeting will be so inspired by the dolce vita that even the boss will take a siesta! You might also want to hire an Italian opera singer to cheer up the team with an aria singalong – nothing brings colleagues closer together than trying to hit high C’s together!

5. Charming country estates and castles

Imagine your next event taking place in a historic castle or an idyllic country estate. Locations such as Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, Schönbrunn Castle in Austria or the enchanting country estates in Tuscany offer a fairytale backdrop for your MICE events. Spend inspiring days in a royal atmosphere, where even the coffee is served in the manner of nobility and the snacks during breaks come from the royal wine cellar. Perhaps the boss will be tempted to grant a royal audience – or at least hold a coronation ceremony for the employee of the month! And don’t worry, the dragon in the castle tower is only there for the photo session.

6. Lake Constance – Three countries, one lake

And last but not least, how could you forget beautiful Lake Constance? With its shores in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Lake Constance offers a unique backdrop for meetings and events. Enjoy the view of the majestic Alps, take a boat tour or plan an outdoor seminar right by the water – Lake Constance is a real hotspot for summer MICE events. Take advantage of the inspiring surroundings in Constance, Friedrichshafen or Bregenz for creative workshops and relaxed meetings. Imagine a meeting on a pedal boat where every participant has to pedal to get the floor. Or organize a summer BBQ where the head of department as grill master tries to create the perfect bratwurst somersault. And how about a scavenger hunt through three countries? The first person to reach the right country gets a VIP parking space – right on the lake, of course!
