Germany & Netherlands Highlights

Our recent journey through Germany and the Netherlands was a blend of business and pleasure, filled with unforgettable experiences and inspiring moments. Here are some highlights from our adventure:

🛩️ Frankfurt: The Starting Point

We kicked off the trip by flying into Frankfurt, Germany’s bustling financial hub. Though it was a brief stop, the city’s energy set the tone for the rest of the trip. The architecture, both modern and historic, was impressive, and the food options at the airport alone were a delightful preview of what was to come.

⚽ Werder Bremen Game in Bremen

One of the trip’s most exhilarating moments was cheering at a Werder Bremen game. The energy in the stadium was electric, with fans passionately supporting their team. It was a great reminder of how sports unite people across cultures—a sentiment that resonates deeply with the events we organize at Cline & Co. The stadium’s unique setup even gave us ideas for incorporating fan-focused elements into future events.

🍝 Dinner at Sasso’s in Oldenburg

Oldenburg charmed us with its quaint streets and warm hospitality. Our dinner at Sasso’s was nothing short of spectacular. The flavors, presentation, and ambiance created a dining experience to remember. It’s a reminder of how much a thoughtfully curated menu can elevate an event. This was also my favorite place to shop.

⛪ St. Michael’s Church in Hamburg

St. Michael’s Church in Hamburg left us in awe. Its stunning architecture and rich history were captivating. The peaceful atmosphere provided a moment of reflection amid the trip’s hustle. This visit inspired thoughts about incorporating more cultural elements into event planning, particularly for international clients.

🌿 Groningen, Netherlands

Crossing over to the Netherlands, we took a quick trip to Groningen. The picturesque canals and striking architecture made for a serene yet inspiring experience. Walking along the cobblestone streets felt like stepping back in time, and the city’s vibrant atmosphere sparked ideas for creating immersive event themes.

Surprises and Takeaways

• Humidity in Germany: Surprisingly, the weather was more humid than expected, a reminder to always check the forecast before packing!

• Unique Treats: At the Werder Bremen stadium, we discovered a gummy candy bar—a fun and unexpected feature that added a playful touch to the experience. It’s a fantastic idea to incorporate unique, interactive elements like this into events to delight attendees and create memorable moments.

• Pro Soccer Combine Discussions: During the trip, we explored the idea of hosting a professional soccer combine in Germany. With the passion for soccer we witnessed, this seems like a natural fit for the region and an exciting opportunity for Cline & Co to expand internationally.
