Eversheds Sutherland Baltic Meeting in Bavaria — How to Create the Ultimate Corporate Event

When one of the leading law firms in the Baltics — Eversheds Sutherland Bitāns — approached Workation Club to organise their annual Baltic Meeting, the brief was clear: create an event that brings together teams from Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia in a unified, inspiring experience. The result? Participants recognised it as the best Baltic Meeting in the firm's history.

The challenge: three countries, one team

The Baltic Meeting is no ordinary corporate event. It's the biggest annual gathering that brings together lawyers from three Baltic offices — people who collaborate virtually every day but rarely meet in person. The programme needed to be diverse enough to satisfy different tastes, challenging enough to create shared memories, and impeccably organised to make legal professionals feel at ease.

The destination: Bavarian Alps meets Munich

Garmisch-Partenkirchen — a small town at the foot of the Bavarian Alps — proved to be the ideal choice. Munich as the flight hub provided convenient logistics for all three countries, while the mountain hotel created the perfect setting for both work and leisure. As the organisers later noted: "Exactly what we had hoped for when envisioning this trip."

The programme: from Alpine hiking to Oktoberfest

The multi-day programme featured a carefully curated spectrum of activities. Hiking through Bavarian mountain trails with experienced local guides who offered both easier and more challenging route alternatives. Lunch at an authentic Alpine restaurant. And, of course, Oktoberfest — an experience that became one of the trip's most memorable highlights.

Dinner at a traditional Bavarian restaurant with live music turned into an unforgettable evening. Musicians with accordion skills that participants "couldn't have imagined" inspired the team into a spontaneous celebration — proving that the best team-bonding moments emerge organically when the conditions are right.

What made this experience special

The key to success was the local partner team in Bavaria. Organiser Barbara with colleagues Patrick and Toni delivered what the client described as "perfectly organised transfers, continuous availability, and care from early morning until late evening." Every detail demonstrated that the partners genuinely cared about the participants' experience.

The result, in the client's own words

Weeks after the trip, the organisers shared their feedback: "The team still talks about different stories and adventures from the Baltic Meeting every day. This was recognised as the best Baltic Meeting to date — by our team and colleagues alike."

The Lithuanian team also separately noted that their activities and dinner were "excellently organised" and they were "truly grateful and delighted with everything."

Key takeaways

The Baltic Meeting in Bavaria confirmed several principles that underpin Workation Club's approach: the destination must create the right atmosphere (not just be beautiful), the programme must be diverse (so everyone finds their element), and local partners are just as important as the overall concept.
