STACK Infrastructure EMEA Limited, a regional arm of a company specialising in wholesale data-centre infrastructure for cloud and enterprise customers, turned to Naboo to organise a Corporate Retreat in Oslo for 45 participants. The brief was clear, foster team cohesion through a mix of focused collaboration and relaxed, relationship-building moments, all within a professional and welcoming setting.
For their November 2025 retreat the client wanted a balanced mix of productive workspaces and convivial communal time, with adaptable meeting rooms for sessions and workshops, an on-site restaurant to keep the group together for shared meals, and a curated programme of activities to encourage connections across teams. The location in Oslo needed to be easily reachable for the international team, the atmosphere both professional and warm, and the schedule required careful sequencing so work and leisure complemented one another without friction.
Naboo answered by designing and delivering an end-to-end solution that balanced logistical rigour with experiential detail. From selecting a venue in Oslo that offered flexible workspaces and dedicated dining facilities to coordinating the event programme and on-site activities, Naboo synchronised rooms, catering and meeting technology so the team could focus on collaboration. The result was a smoothly executed retreat that reflected STACK Infrastructure EMEA’s priorities, efficiency, interaction and continuity, and reinforced Naboo’s role as a reliable strategic partner for complex corporate gatherings.
Grand Hotel Oslo
The Grand Hotel Oslo provides an urban setting with welcoming charm. Its central location offers good views and easy access to the city, making it a suitable venue for fostering collaboration and relationship-building during the retreat. On arrival, people encountered an atmosphere designed to support focus and informal exchange, setting a useful backdrop for productive engagement.
The venue offers versatile workspaces that cater to a variety of professional needs, complemented by communal areas for informal gatherings and social interactions. The layout allowed for both focused sessions and relaxed conversations, helping participants transition between different modes of engagement. This design makes the Grand Hotel Oslo functional and conducive to teamwork and inspiration.
STACK Infrastructure EMEA Limited Corporate Retreat focused on cohesion
The multi-day Corporate Retreat in November 2025 met its main goal, reinforcing cohesion across the organisation. In collaboration with Naboo, the programme combined focused sessions with well-timed social elements to restore and deepen working relationships. Planning and execution aligned with the client’s objective, producing a balanced experience that supported both productive work and relaxed interaction, and by the end there was a sense of renewed team connection.
Feedback highlighted a number of success factors: venue selection, the quality of dining, and the coordination of meeting and social spaces. Selected restaurants and hospitality were praised for their service, and the meeting rooms broadly met the group’s needs. A few minor logistical points were noted, such as expectations around coffee-break snacks and an isolated video-conferencing issue, which will inform future planning.
We found the Grand Hotel Oslo to be a good fit, with very good service, and the meeting rooms worked well, with a few minor logistical points noted.
Naboo’s team received credit for logistical coordination, clear communication and attentive on-site support. The team managed last-minute rooming adjustments and coordinated suppliers so catering and service standards were maintained throughout. This responsiveness and attention to detail helped keep the programme on track and ensured a calm, professional experience for people attending.
The food at Statholdergaarden was impressive, with well-prepared dishes and attentive service.
The retreat followed a deliberate daily rhythm: mornings for focused sessions, afternoons for group activities and working meetings, and evenings for shared dinners and networking. That structure allowed focused progress on objectives during the day while using evening events to consolidate relationships and informal dialogue, reinforcing the cohesion aim across different settings.
Participant feedback and formal ratings underline the event’s positive outcome: a perfect participant score of 5/5 and a Naboo recommendation of 10/10 reflect strong satisfaction. Naboo remains in close contact with the company about potential future opportunities, confirming that the retreat has strengthened the partnership going forward.
