Groupe FED
In July 2019, Groupe FED, France's leading specialist recruitment firm, privately hired Bateau Paris 16 to gather 270 employees around a hybrid format that blended learning, networking and conviviality. A memorable day combining a conference, a commentated cruise and a cocktail reception facing the Eiffel Tower.
When a recruitment group hosts its annual convention in Paris, a boat offers a distinctive setting that leaves a lasting impression and brings together teams spread across several offices.
Hosting a 270-guest seminar calls for a venue that can juggle three challenges at once: gathering the whole group in plenary, offering a cruise format that breaks away from the traditional business hotel, and providing a convivial cocktail reception at the end of the day.
With its 400-guest capacity and professional technical set-up, Bateau Paris 16 met all three requirements perfectly.
The day began with a plenary conference led by the leadership team, followed by a commentated cruise on the Seine that gave teams from different offices the chance to meet in a relaxed setting, then a lively cocktail reception facing the illuminated Parisian landmarks.
This conference + cruise + cocktail reception format turns an annual convention into a standout moment.
Bateaux Seine coordinated the entire set-up: private hire of Bateau Paris 16, technical package for the conference, navigation, service for 270 guests and staggered boarding logistics.
A boat for a corporate seminar offers everything multi-site groups look for: a distinctive setting that brings teams together, a pro technical set-up for plenaries, a cruise dimension that adds an experience to the day, capacity for up to 500 guests and a central location.
