Amsterdam 2023: Livingstone Annual Global Retreat

Once a year, Livingstone’s entire international partnership eagerly awaits the Annual Global Retreat. This much-anticipated meeting, hosted by different offices each year, serves as a unique opportunity for team building, fostering camaraderie, and creating lasting memories. Last year, the retreat was held in Boston, while this year, in 2023, our Amsterdam office kindly hosted over 100 Livingstonians.

The weekend kicked off on Thursday evening with bowling at Knijn, an excellent way to enjoy some appetizers, drinks, and friendly competition as we showed off our bowling skills (or lack thereof). Afterward, the team headed to StrandZuid for a “Walking BBQ”-style dinner at a beautiful outdoor waterside establishment. Attendees gathered for a welcome speech by Niels Claeren of the hosting Amsterdam office and presentations of the Livingstone Foundation’s ongoing projects by Neil Collen, partner and co-founder of Livingstone Spain, and Inma Vidal, associate, followed.
