Bavarian Bliss at Oktoberfest

A group of 12 values-based reward winners go on an incentive trip full of steins, rickshaws and the champion’s league in Munich

Recognising and rewarding success is key to building a motivated team. That’s why STACK partnered with us to deliver a reward trip that celebrated their top performers from across EMEA.

This was more than just a getaway – it was about acknowledging hard work, strengthening connections, and creating memories that unite a team, as well as inspiring others to follow suit.

“Because of this trip I feel valued and appreciated by the business and colleagues. It was good to meet others from the wider business and with different job roles so I now have a wider people network. Thank you.”

Set against the backdrop of the Bavarian charm in Munich, the itinerary balanced luxury with fun. From VIP Champagne tours of the Allianz Arena, to traditional dinners and a rickshaw tour of the city, every detail was designed to inspire and reward.

And of course, a VIP table in Oktoberfest’s largest tent was a highlight – complete with fancy dress and plenty of steins.

“It was a great experience, especially for Strive team support. They are amazing, putting all their love in what they do: they made it all unforgettable!”

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and everyone commented on how great it was to discuss their respective departments, activities and projects with people they wouldn’t ordinarily communicate with in their roles.

These informal discussions have been hugely helpful to better understand how the organisation works, build culture and foster long lasting working relationships.

At Strive, we understand that reward trips like this go beyond recognition. They’re about creating moments that build loyalty, bring camaraderie, and energise teams for the future.

Munich offered the perfect mix of celebration and connection, reminding us once again why we do what we do: Bringing people together to celebrate what they’ve achieved – and inspire what’s next.
