Userlike's 2015 Company Retreat to Vlissingen
In September the Userlike team made a trip to Vlissingen, the Netherlands. We spent a weekend in an amazing watertower. A good time for team-building, brainstorming, good food and geocaching. Here's an impression.

That's where we spent the weekend. The upper area for brainstorms and lightning talks, the bottom for dinner, drinks and fun.

Lucky for us, David is almost as skilled in cooking as he is in programming.
