Congrex Olympic Games – Let’s Play!

In October, we hosted a special lunch break activity as part of our “Congrex Olympic Games” initiative. The highlight? A Bingo game, creatively organised by Meaghan, that brought our team closer together! Colleagues discovered fun facts about each other over Bingo cards, like who has a secret talent for playing an instrument or who has been on TV. The dessert buffet from our Association Management Team was the cherry on top!

At Congrex, we’re all about fostering connections and making every moment count. Here’s to more fun and memorable team experiences!
