Re:signal ski trip: winter summit review
Last week, our London and Zurich teams headed to Switzerland for the BlueGlass Winter Summit 2016. It was a chance to catch up with our continental counterparts and celebrate the success of an amazing year. More importantly, it was an opportunity to share what we’d learned and thought ahead to the many exciting projects coming up this year.
We explored the delights of Zurich and Lucerne before heading to the hills and thrilling slopes of Engelberg.
The adventure started early for the London team: a bleary-eyed, 6am rendezvous at London City Airport. Many of us had never skied before, while others were veterans of the slopes – either way, we were all excited to hit the snow.
After catching up on some much-needed sleep on the plane, we headed into the beautiful city of Zurich to meet the Swiss team, being greeted in our fab office in the customary Re:signal manner – a smile, delicious food and a cold beer.
After a quick briefing, we headed off to Lucerne – newly adorned with our thoroughly on-brand sunglasses, modelled marvellously by Gavin below.
On the historic waterfront of Lucerne, we were set a task: in teams, we were to create short videos symbolising the spirit – against the perfect backdrop of our very own Irma’s charming hometown. Importantly, we also found time for ice cream.
Once our masterpieces were complete, we had a quick drink and jumped on the train to Engelberg and the wonders of the Alps. We’ll spare you a blow-by-blow account of the whole adventure but here are our highlights from an unforgettable few days.
