CASE STUDY

Bain Capital

A European offsite that brought the whole firm together

European team offsite
Private equity firm | Dubrovnik, Croatia

AT A GLANCE
180 colleagues from across the European business
Full hotel buyout (turns out that helps)
Business sessions balanced with shared experiences
Delivered every two years

Every two years, this firm creates space to pause.

With teams spread across the UK and Europe, the offsite is a deliberate moment to come together, reflect on the year behind them and refocus on what comes next. It’s as much about energy as it is about agenda: strengthening bonds, building cohesion and reigniting a shared sense of purpose.

For 2024, that meant bringing 180 colleagues together in Dubrovnik. The brief was clear: easy access, minimal transfers, plenty of time outdoors and a setting that felt modern without trying too hard. A full hotel buyout ensured the space felt entirely their own.

“The programme balanced business and breathing room. Plenary sessions created alignment around the year ahead, while workshops encouraged collaboration across teams.”

The event was built around a purpose-designed studio broadcast.

The theme shifted each cycle depending on where the firm found itself. Some years focus on innovation and growth mindset. Others are about gratitude and celebration. This one was about reflection and momentum.

When people returned to their desks, they did so energised. Clearer on direction, stronger in connection and ready for what was next.

Attendance isn’t the same as participation.

Making the AGM fully virtual wasn’t about broadcasting the meeting, it was about making it easier for members to take part and engage.
