We organise your sales kick-off in Lisbon for 30 to 300 participants, over two or three days: launch plenary, team workshops, informal time and an evening event. Budget 600 to 1,400 € per person, flights excluded. January and February, when most kick-offs take place, are the cheapest months of the year in Lisbon.
Why hold your January kick-off in Lisbon?
Because it is the one moment of the year when the sales calendar and the Lisbon hotel calendar agree with each other.
January and February are quiet in Portugal. You get hotels and venues that would be out of budget in May, with temperatures around 15 degrees, which is still comfortable for a covered outdoor evening and for a daytime activity.
It is also when sales teams are available, before the quarter closes in on them.
The format that works
- Day 1 morning arrivals, lunch, launch plenary in the afternoon with the numbers and the targets, then an evening event in a different venue.
- Day 2 workshops by region or product line in the morning, a shared activity in the afternoon, closing dinner.
- Day 3 if you have it a short wrap-up session and departures in the early afternoon.
The point we push hardest: do not put the evening event on the last night. A group leaving the next morning gets no benefit from the night before, and you lose the most unifying moment of the trip.
What a kick-off needs that a seminar does not
A more staged plenary, because there is a message to land and results to announce. Proper sound and lighting control. Often a video recording for those who could not travel. And an awards moment, which means a stage, a lectern and trophy logistics.
We supply all of it, stage manager included.
Full handling
Venue sourcing and negotiation, accommodation, plenary and technical production, workshops, catering, evening event, transfers and coordination of arrivals from several countries.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a sales kick-off in Lisbon cost?
Between 600 and 1,400 € per person over two days, flights excluded. In January and February, expect the lower end of that range for the same standard.
How much lead time for a January kick-off?
Three months is enough, so a decision in October. It is one of the rare periods where booking further ahead brings little, because demand is low.
Can 200 sales people fly in from several countries on the same day?
Yes. The airport is 7 km from the centre and Lisbon has direct links to most European capitals, so arrivals can be staggered across one morning.
Do you record the plenary on video?
Yes, multi-camera recording and editing. Ask at briefing stage, it affects the choice of venue and the room layout.
