Time to get excited about our upcoming Mid Year #connect 2024 Event in Minneapolis!
This year, our focus is on #connecting – forging meaningful bonds with one another, engaging with our leaders, and immersing ourselves in the frontline experience.
The core NA Mid Year #connect event will happen from Tuesday, 9th July to Thursday, 11th July. Kicking off on Tuesday afternoon at the Westin Minneapolis hotel, we'll dive into business updates followed by dinner. The next day we will get the unique opportunity to visit our clients (Life Time, Cargill, Kessler Hotel, Mortenson and Caribou) to learn more about their daily work and their experience with Beekeeper.
As the day winds down, we'll come together to explore Minneapolis by bike, and spend the evening together with good food, cold drinks and great company.
The morning after, we get together to share stories and #connect in a crossfunctional setting.
Laura Pranovi will be your on site contact throughout this event. Please reach out for any questions via Hive chat, email or mobile +41 76 558 4893.
We are looking forward to a great event!
