BayWa R.E. France, the French arm of BayWa r.e., an international developer and service provider in renewable energy, turned to Naboo to organize a corporate retreat for 202 people. The assignment called for more than an offsite, the client wanted a blend of focused work and convivial moments, bringing colleagues together in a setting that would host both plenary strategy and lighter team experiences.
From the outset BayWa R.E. France set clear expectations: a privatised venue within easy reach of Paris or, alternatively, sites close to the coast; roughly 150 rooms to accommodate attendees; fully equipped workspaces including a plenary and multiple breakout rooms; reliable wifi and on-site catering for two breakfasts, two lunches and two dinners; a programme of structured activities plus self-service options and a photographer; and coordinated bus transport to ensure smooth arrivals and departures. Timing windows in late spring and early summer further shaped the brief, and the overall atmosphere sought was professional yet convivial, with turnkey logistics that would free the teams to focus on content and connection.
Naboo answered by orchestrating the full programme end to end, sourcing and securing a privatisable venue that met the travel and accommodation brief, equipping a large plenary and a network of sub-commission rooms, and coordinating the catering and evening events to match the desired rhythm of the retreat. The team also integrated activity proposals, on-site photographer services and round-trip bus transfers, while guaranteeing robust connectivity throughout the site, demonstrating Naboo’s capacity as a strategic and reliable partner for complex corporate events.
