Aktio is a forward-thinking company focused on internal connections and professional development. They approached Naboo with the critical task of orchestrating a high-value, multi-day Corporate Retreat for their 70 participants. The event, was designed to be much more than a simple get-together; the primary Event Objective was explicit: Cohesion, focusing on Team Building, Incentive and Appreciation).
Aktio envisioned a perfectly balanced schedule that would maximize team engagement and business outcomes. This included intensive morning work sessions, afternoon team-building activities, and convivial evening social events, including a dedicated party. Crucially, the location had to be in the countryside (Campagne), easily accessible by public transport from Paris, and possess indispensable criteria like excellent workspaces, seamless access to WiFi, and an overarching atmosphere of simplicity and conviviality.
Aktio sought a partner who could seamlessly manage all logistics, from specific demands regarding 50% single and 50% twin-share accommodations to complex catering needs, including full-board and a focus on high-quality vegetarian options. Naboo was tasked with delivering a retreat that would not only meet these high standards but also align with their budget and commitment to CSR engagement.

The positive feedback highlighted the overwhelming success of the venue and the high-quality catering, which significantly contributed to the retreat's excellent atmosphere.
"We were truly delighted with the setting; it was a strong point raised by our teams. Very bucolic, just as we appreciate for a change of scenery. The communal living areas are very good (work and dining room, garden for the cocktail, small breakfast already in the chateau)."
Naboo's expertise shone particularly brightly in managing the diverse accommodation requirements and delivering a catering experience that exceeded expectations. The client's appreciation for the food service was a testament to the meticulous planning and coordination of the event management team.
"Caterer: The vegetarian meals were excellent, this is a very good surprise because there is always some doubt about vegetarian menus. I repeated it several times to the caterer. The desserts were a little less appreciated than the main courses, but everything was absolutely fine."
The retreat was flawlessly executed according to the plan, which included dedicated work time on all mornings, an afternoon of team building, and an exclusive party on the first night to celebrate the teams. The simple, cooperative activity planned for the afternoon of the second day perfectly aligned with the client's desire for engaging but non-strenuous fun, further strengthening team bonds.
The final score of 9/10 for Naboo and 4/5 from the participants confirms a superior event experience that delivered immense value to Aktio.
