Over the ensuing two decades, the annual event has flourished and has subsequently been hosted in Verbier and Crans-Montana. In collaboration with the Financial Times, Howden, Snow & Rock, and numerous others, the event has attracted a wide range of devoted attendees from various industries across Europe. This weekend not only provides business executives with the thrill of ski racing but also serves as a unique platform for networking, entertaining clients and acknowledging employee contributions.
