Get your team off to a flying start: organise your kick-off event at BluePoint

The start of a new year is a unique opportunity to inspire, connect and motivate your team. A well-organised kick-off not only strengthens cooperation, but also ensures a shared vision and enthusiasm. BluePoint, with locations in Antwerp and Liège, offers everything you need to make your event a success. With the following tips and insights, you will give your team an unforgettable start to the year.

1. The right location: atmosphere and functionality go hand in hand

At a kick-off, the atmosphere of the location is crucial. BluePoint combines modern rooms with an inspiring atmosphere, perfect for both reflective moments and dynamic sessions. Consider, for example, a set-up that provides space for reflection on the past year. Let your team share ideas on what went well and what could be improved, while our state-of-the-art technology ensures seamless presentations and interaction.

Tip: Plan sessions with a clear agenda, but also leave room for spontaneous discussions. For example, use open-ended questions such as ‘What went well?’ and ‘Where can we grow?’ to encourage productive dialogue.

2. Everything under one roof: organise without stress

A kick-off requires perfect logistics. BluePoint offers integrated solutions such as catering, technical support and flexible spaces. This gives you as an organiser the peace of mind to focus on the content and not the practical details.

Tip: Consider an interactive start, such as a team-building exercise or an icebreaker, to set the tone. Activities such as Two Truths and a Lie or a short quiz create a relaxed atmosphere and strengthen team dynamics.

3. Interactive sessions: make it participative

A kick-off is not just about leading, but also about listening and collaborating. BluePoint's flexible rooms are ideal for interactive workshops and brainstorming sessions. A SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis is an excellent way to jointly define goals and strategies.

Tip: Create an open and informal setting by setting up the room so that everyone feels comfortable. Provide snacks or drinks to lower the threshold for participation.

4. Culinary delights: strengthen team spirit

Good food does wonders for your team's atmosphere and energy. BluePoint offers various catering options, from energetic breakfasts to elaborate lunches or dinners. For example, combine lunch with a brainstorming session for an informal but productive setting.

Tip: Make use of food-sharing concepts or interactive catering options to further strengthen mutual connections.

5. Accessibility and comfort: practical for everyone

BluePoint locations in Antwerp and Liège are strategically located and easily accessible by car and public transport. With ample parking facilities, you won't have to worry about stressful arrivals.

Tip: For teams working partly virtually, you can make use of BluePoint's hybrid solutions so that everyone - physical or digital - can participate fully.

6. Sustainability: contribute to a better future

BluePoint combines innovation with sustainability. Our venues are equipped with energy-saving technologies and we offer sustainable catering options. This makes your event not only impactful for your team, but also for the environment.

Tip: Make your sustainability visible: communicate how your event contributes to eco-friendly goals. This can be inspiring for your team!

7. Tailor-made guidance: leave nothing to chance

A kick-off requires customisation, and at BluePoint, experienced event coordinators are at your service. Together with you, they will work on a programme that perfectly suits your team's unique needs. From reflection to SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound): we support you every step of the way.

Tip: End the day with a summary of the goals discussed and an inspiring message about the year ahead. This helps to retain motivation.
