On March 23 to 26 2023 (Thursday to Sunday), we’ll bring 50 members of the VOYAGERS family on a special weekend snow adventure in the Swiss Alps. We’re running this weekend at cost, with a mission to build close friendships among VOYAGERS working across a diverse range of industries and geographies – startup founders, investors, researchers, activists and many more.
On May 25 to 28 2023, we’ll bring 50 climate-tech VOYAGERS to Iceland for a special three-night adventure, collaborating with David Helgason’s extensive climate-tech network in Iceland. We’re running this weekend at cost, with a mission to build close friendships among VOYAGERS working across a diverse range of climate-related projects from many geographies – startup founders, investors, researchers, activists and many more. We asked participants on our last Iceland adventure: “Overall, how would you rate the adventure on a scale from 0 [worst] to 10 [best]?” Their average score was 9.2 out of 10.
On June 15 to 18 2023, we’ll bring 50 members of the VOYAGERS family on a special three-night, four-day hiking adventure in Galicia, northern Spain. We’re running this weekend at cost, with a mission to build close friendships among VOYAGERS working across a diverse range of industries and geographies – startup founders, investors, researchers, activists and many more. We asked past participants in this adventure: “Overall, how would you rate the adventure on a scale from 0 [worst] to 10 [best]?” Their average score was 9.4 out of 10.
On August 8 to 11 2023, we will take 40 people to experience the magnificent chaos that is the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. We’ll take over a beautiful 18th-century castle outside Edinburgh with connections to Mary Queen of Scots, so that we have an oasis of calm to return to after each day’s cornucopia of performances. We’ll use our arts-media network to get tickets to shows that stimulate and intrigue, but we’ll also make time for spontaneity, for participants to find and drop into some of the off-beat, unique offerings that make the fringe so special. Our team has designed this adventure to balance the guided and critically filtered with the utterly unpredictable, so participants experience the festival at its best.
For the third year, we’re taking 50 VOYAGERS to Portugal’s wine country on October 7 to 10 2023 for a three-day health-tech networking adventure. This adventure had feedback of 9.4 out of 10 in 2021. That’s because we carefully curate the agenda to connect VOYAGERS at a deep level – through activities ranging from river trekking to treading grapes in a Douro-valley vineyard.
On July 7 to 10 2022, VOYAGERS took 50 people working in health-tech on an Italian Palazzo Adventure. Based in a historic palace in Petritoli, Le Marche, we spent three intense days truffle-hunting, mountain-biking, snow hiking, pasta-making, wine-sampling, clock-tower climbing, Werewolf-playing, speakeasy-embracing, town-square dancing, opera-house performing, storytelling and generally building a warm friendship group.
