From October 21 - 25, the 21bitcoin team came together for an exciting on-site event in Salzburg and Schladming. This five-day gathering was filled with collaborative workshops, team-building activities and opportunities to connect on a personal level, all while recharging our passion for the future.
Kicking Off in Salzburg: Productive Workshops and New Ideas
We began our on-site at our new office in Salzburg, where teams from Engineering, Operations, Marketing, Customer Success and Compliance gathered to share insights and work on our latest projects. From technical discussions about frontend development and backend migrations to strategic planning sessions on compliance and marketing, each workshop offered a valuable chance to align on our goals.
Here’s what some of our team members had to say about the sessions:
- Engineering: "Workshops brought helpful insights, even with large groups. A smaller session on prioritizing frontend improvements was especially productive, as well as a quick database migration discussion during a drive!"
- Compliance: "Meeting in person helped us tackle current topics like DORA and MiCAR regulations."
- Marketing and Operations: "We had great exchanges on strategies and ideas, making plans to keep moving forward."
Building Team Spirit at Mandlberggut
After our days in Salzburg, we headed to Mandlberggut, a cozy mountain retreat near Schladming that offered the perfect mix of relaxation and bonding. The lodge provided a warm and inviting space with a sauna and comfortable communal areas where we could unwind and connect outside of work.
Our time in the mountains was filled with group activities like board games and hiking, which everyone enjoyed. The hike was a highlight for many, with some suggesting we try a winter hike soon. Whether it was a game night or just chatting by the fireplace, each activity brought the team closer together.
Here’s what some had to say:
- “It was like a big family gathering. I loved that we had time to get to know each other better.”
- “Cooking together was a great experience, and I appreciated having activities where everyone could join in or relax as they liked.”
A Shared Experience Worth Repeating
Throughout the event, we felt an incredible team spirit. Mandlberggut was a favorite for its cozy atmosphere, while the Salzburg workshops gave us practical tools to keep advancing our goals.
This on-site gathering was a powerful reminder of why we’re all part of 21bitcoin. It brought us closer together, gave us fresh energy for upcoming projects and helped build lasting memories. A huge thank you to everyone who made it happen – we can’t wait to see what’s next and look forward to gathering again with even more great experiences to share!
