GR8 Days 2025: Two days that reunited us again

Location stayed the same, but everything else was different - and again, slightly better. Different pace, different mood, a new programme. No pressure, no obligations. And therein lies its magic. ✨

Day 1

Inspiration, strategy and shared vision

We kicked off GR8 Days with our regular all-hands meeting, which we moved to the afternoon and dedicated to a retrospective of our first-half strategy.

We shared a rooftop dinner at our Žilina office, taking in the beautiful view together. It was a moment for casual conversations we’ve come to value even more – after all, we don’t get to see each other in person that often, scattered as we are across the country. It was a great chance to reconnect, catch up, and get to know each other a little better.

Back at the office, it was time for one of our favorite traditions - lightning talks. As always, the topics were diverse: from smart home tech and the most beloved GR drinks - kombucha and coffee - to a few travel adventures. And of course, another crowd favorite was on tap - beer.

Day 2

Inspired by words, united by game

We kicked off Day 2 a little differently – with a few motivating words from our CEO to set the tone.

Then we split into teams and dove into a mix of creative and slightly chaotic activities: action-packed battleship game (yes, there were a few scrapes), hobby horsing, and even creating a collaborative travel globe.

Balance for body & mind

The afternoon slowed down a bit, giving everyone the freedom to choose their own pace. Whether it was team sports like volleyball, an escape room challenge, or something more relaxed like yoga or a pizza-making workshop – there was something for everyone. We also treated ourselves to some well-deserved downtime, with massages and quiet moments to recharge, reset, and clear our minds.

Sharing is caring

In the evening, we gathered together for a barbecue where we enjoyed a meal full of great flavors and an evening of good vibe and conversation.

Dancing under the stars was the finishing touch to a day that reminded us that alongside work, it is equally important to share joy and enjoy moments together. Lara Abou, a singer with an exceptional voice and energy, took care of the evening's atmosphere and immediately drew us into the musical experience. Later, the DJ took over and made sure that the dance floor did not stay empty until late.

GR8 moments, GR8 connections

This year, we were reminded that what makes GoodRequest strong isn't just outputs or technology - it's people who know each other, complement each other, and know how to work together as a team.

Thank-you to everyone who came - with a willingness to share, have fun, switch off for a while or just enjoy time together. And a special thanks to our People Team, who organised the whole event with a huge attention to detail and humanity.

See you next year 💛
