KEARNEY
Annual country retreat to bring together employees to celebrate and reward their hard work
Venue search. Agenda development. Project management. Live delivery.
Who.
Kearney is a top ranking global consulting firm. Powwow have been an event partner to the London office since 2003.
What.
The annual ReTreat is designed to recognise the dedication of the team and a thank you for the hard work put in over the last year.
Each event is designed around a variety of activities, with the morning being a chance for the entire team to compete against one another in group challenge. The afternoon brings more individual choice, with colleagues able to choose activities that suit their interests. We top the day off with a drinks reception and a party which runs into the small hours.
How.
Powwow provided full project management for Kearney, with only delegate management being held internally by the client team.
The first milestone is always finding the right venue for the event, 170pax in a country style hotel with accommodation, plenty of space and less than 1 hour from London.
We then moved on to agenda planning, to ensure we had plenty of time for cohesive experiences, whilst also allowing for individualism and connections to be made.
Activities over the years have included iPad treasure hunt, Bear Grylls Survival Academy, Gong Bath, a Mindful Chocolate Experience, Yoga Boxing and Historical Tours.
The day is rounded off with a BBQ and a late night silent disco with photobooth.
“These events are always successful, but they just seem to get better and better the more we do and so much of that, if not all of that is down to your ideas, impeccable organisation, professional hosting skills and wonderful attitude and smiles. You are an absolute pleasure to work with.”
— Amanda Holden, Senior Manager – Planning & Internal Operations
