Root Commercial Conference 2025
In 2025, Venuesin organised the Root Commercial Conference for Gilbarco Veeder-Root, a global technology leader in fuel dispensing equipment and fuel management systems, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Portugal’s most internationally celebrated regions.
An international commercial conference of this scale demands a combination of outstanding venues, flawless logistics and experiential moments that leave a lasting impression on participants arriving from multiple countries. Venuesin met that challenge with a multi-venue proposal that made the most of the region’s extraordinary potential: the Boeira Garden Hotel, one of the most exclusive boutique hotels in the Douro, Graham Lodge, an iconic Port wine lodge with views over the river in Vila Nova de Gaia, and a Douro River Cruise that transformed an afternoon on the water into an unforgettable team building and social experience.
Services included exclusive accommodation, premium catering throughout all programme moments, audiovisual production for the conference sessions, design and graphic production of all event identity materials, coordinated transfers between all venues and Porto Airport, personalised gifts for participants and an animation and team building programme designed to build connections between international teams.
The use of multiple venues across a conference programme is a strategy increasingly valued in international events. Each space creates a distinct atmosphere, each moment carries its own energy, and participants leave with the feeling of having experienced several events in one. Venuesin has the experience and the partner network to execute this strategy with fluency and precision.
