This year, our international Coverdale gathering was something truly special: We had several anniversaries to honor in style:
✨ 60 years of Coverdale International
✨ 45 years of Coverdale Germany
✨ 35 years of Coverdale Austria
✨ 20 years of Coverdale Russia
Around 40 colleagues came together at the end of June for two days in beautiful Styria – more precisely, at the Klugbauer on Reinischkogel.
The agenda? A colorful mix of connection, reflection, inspiration, and a healthy dose of fun.
One of our main goals was to give our newer colleagues the chance to meet the entire team in person. The CEOs of the country organizations shared fascinating insights into how Coverdale has evolved in their regions. Together, we looked back at how we’ve collaborated internationally over the past three years – more than 20 projects in various constellations, spanning the US, China, Europe, India, and beyond.
Of course, with so many milestones, a proper celebration was in order: On the first evening, we marked our anniversaries with a quiz and a treasure hunt around the hotel. And yes, some people discovered a surprising amount of competitive spirit. As anyone who knows Coverdale will confirm: We’re only strong together. Each team found its piece of the Coverdale logo hidden along the route – creating a shared result in the end.
The second day was all about our traditional marketplace – a space for new projects, exciting ideas, and big conversations about how we want to keep evolving as an international organization. After sampling the birthday cakes from each country, we spent the afternoon visiting Piber to show our international colleagues the famous white Lipizzaner horses. For many, that was a real highlight – after all, you don’t get to pet a Lipizzaner every day.
The wrap-up was classic Coverdale: Some danced late into the night, while others relaxed with a glass of Styrian white wine on the terrace to wind down a memorable gathering.
It was a pleasure to host our international colleagues – and to share a little piece of our beautiful home with them.
