A: If your team is struggling a bit or just isn’t working as well as they could, some team building events may be better than others.

Team Building Event Ideas for Your Next Conference
May 20, 2008
Often when companies or businesses have a conference for their employees, team building events can be a part of the agenda. Because everyone needs to get together to discuss company business anyway, it is a great time to get some team building activities in, plus, it often can give staff an opportunity to build relationships outside of their immediate office, which can be particularly beneficial in departments where several company sites interact.
Here are some ideas for team building events that will be fun, exciting, and memorable for your next conference on the Gold Coast.
Corporate Golf Tournament
Getting all of the conference attendees together for a fun round of golf always makes for a successful team building event; it just requires a little planning (which a team building specialist like Sports Corp Elite can completely take care of). You can even arrange a tournament for charity. People will love the opportunity to golf, get to know each other and raise money for a worthy cause!
“High Rollers”
A team building event like high rollers can really get everyone into a party atmosphere and will completely transform your Gold Coast conference environment. Once the stage is set for the high rollers team building activity, no one will even remember they are at a conference. With full size tables and, authentic croupiers, chips and cards, as well as all the glamour of Monte Carlo, the only thing that will give it away will be the “funny money”! All the attendees will be able to share this experience together and thereby benefit by being able to create relationships based upon shared memories and history, which is an essential part of any team building event.
Crew Synergy Sailing
What better activity for a Gold Coast based conference team building event than sailing! Crew Synergy Sailing puts all the conference delegates on amazing 10 meter performance luxury catamarans so they can head out a bit into the sea! Everyone will then work together to return to the shore; with each person getting to experience the different jobs and positions on board. A shared understanding is thereby created among the delegates in addition to the opportunity to get to know each other better, in the beautiful waters off the Gold Coast.
Holding a team building event like this can help the delegates to get to know each other better as well as helping to facilitate team building across company sites. Plus, conferences and team building events just go hand in hand. To set up a team building event for your next Gold Coast conference, call 1 300 267 738.
Team Building Through Sailing
April 29, 2008
If you are interested in a great activity to introduce your conference attendees to each other, or a fantastic way to build company spirit and commitment, Crew Synergy Sailing may be just the team building activity you’re looking for.
Ride out into the beautiful waters of the Gold Coast on 10 meter performance luxury catamarans. Relax, enjoy the amazing sights, and get to know the others on your vessel. Then, the Regatta begins!
While this team building activity can be set up as a race to see who reaches a destination in the least amount of time, it can also be effective simply as a team sailing activity. Each participant will be challenged with all of the various activities required to successfully get their boat to common waypoints. There will be Navigators, Operators, and a Sailing Coordinator. Team members will rotate through all of the different positions to help facilitate an understanding of the complexities of each position and the need for everyone to work together in order to reach the destination.
The challenges of Crew Synergy Sailing are made safe for all participants by only sailing calm (but navigationally challenging) waters as well as having a Safety and Support Vessel close by at all times. The route is also marked with buoys and channel markers so everyone can stay on course.
Crew Synergy Sailing may be a perfect team building activity for your organization. Call 1 300 367 738 to arrange a sailing adventure for your team. Everyone, including you, will be glad you did!
