Bidvest, a South American services, trading, and distribution company, chose Israel as the destination for their annual conference, bringing 420 of their top managers and sales winners on a journey that aimed to showcase the country’s rich history, vibrant culture, and unique experiences. The carefully curated itinerary promised to be an event that the team would remember for a lifetime.

For seven nights, the group was based at the luxurious Tel Aviv Hilton, where they enjoyed both business and leisure in one of Israel’s most dynamic cities. The conference itself spanned two days, offering a balance of insightful discussions and networking, punctuated by an array of refreshing coffee breaks to keep the atmosphere energized.

One of the highlights of the trip was a full-day tour of Jerusalem, where the group immersed themselves in the city’s deep historical and spiritual significance. They visited some of its most iconic landmarks before being treated to a truly special moment—lunch with Israel’s President Shimon Peres, an unforgettable honor that left a lasting impression on everyone.

The adventure continued with a day trip to the Dead Sea, where the group indulged in the famous Mud Festival, enjoying the rejuvenating qualities of the mineral-rich waters and mud. The day culminated in a magical Bedouin party in the heart of the desert, where guests experienced traditional hospitality under the stars, creating an atmosphere of wonder and connection.

Upon returning to Tel Aviv, the group was welcomed with an extraordinary Market Party at the city’s vibrant port. Authentic merchants from the famous Carmel Market brought the essence of Israeli street food and culture to life, while a lively folklore group provided entertainment, making for a festive and immersive evening.

The culinary experiences throughout the trip were equally unforgettable. Guests had the opportunity to dine at 12 of Tel Aviv’s finest gourmet restaurants, each offering a taste of the city’s diverse and innovative food scene. These dining experiences allowed participants to explore the flavors of Israel in intimate, curated settings.

To close out the event, the group attended a spectacular dance party at Ronit Farm, a scenic venue just outside the city. The night was filled with energy as everyone came together to celebrate the success of the conference in an unforgettable way. Before leaving, the team indulged in a shopping tour of Tel Aviv, taking home souvenirs and memories from this vibrant city.

Bidvest’s conference in Israel perfectly balanced business, culture, and entertainment, giving their top performers an experience that will be talked about for years to come.
