This year, we celebrated at GaiaZOO in Kerkrade, just across the Dutch border. Together with our colleagues and their families, we enjoyed a fantastic summer day in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. In total, 110 participants joined the event, including 30 children whose curiosity and enthusiasm made the day even more special.
From the moment everyone arrived at the Magnolia Event Center, the excitement was unmistakable. Beautiful floral table decorations and sweet treats created a cheerful, family-friendly setting. After enjoying a slice of traditional Limburg vlaai, we set off in three groups for a two-hour guided tour through the zoo.
Exploring the fascinating wildlife together gave us plenty of opportunities to connect, share conversations, laugh, and simply enjoy each other’s company away from the office. These shared experiences are what make our annual summer party so special.
After the tour, we gathered back at the Magnolia Event Center for a delicious buffet featuring regional specialties, a fresh salad bar, and local beverages. With spacious outdoor tents, pleasant indoor areas, and beautiful summer weather, everyone was able to relax and enjoy the afternoon.
It was a day filled with meaningful conversations, happy moments, and lots of laughter. Events like these not only strengthen our team spirit but also give our families the opportunity to get to know one another and become part of the QA community.
A heartfelt thank you to all our colleagues and their families for making this day such a memorable one. We are already looking forward to our next opportunity to celebrate and spend time together.
