Events & Groups
We build what doesn't exist in any catalog.
If you can describe what you need to accomplish and who will be in the room, we can build the experience. Product launches, client dinners, milestone celebrations, team competitions - we design each one from the ground up.
Tell us what your team needs. We'll build it.
Most event operators work from a menu. They have a set of experiences they can execute reliably, and they match your brief to the closest available option. The result is a program that was designed for someone else and adapted to fit you.
CDV works differently. We start with your people, your objective, and your moment - then we design backward from there. If what you need doesn't already exist, we build it. We've been doing exactly that for twenty years across six countries.
This approach requires more from us. It also produces something categorically different: an event that feels like it was made for your specific group, because it was.
Formats
What we can build.
Florence, Italy
Product Launch in a Tuscan Villa
Stage a global sales kickoff or product reveal in a 16th-century villa outside Florence: a custom set among the cypress trees, a reveal at sunset, and a closing harvest dinner in the cellars. The kind of moment a launch deserves.
Croatia
Client Appreciation Dinner on the Adriatic
Host your top clients on a private yacht through the Dalmatian islands, with a chef who grew up on Hvar cooking on deck and a crew who knows when to disappear. No speeches, no presentations, just the right people in an unforgettable setting.
Porto, Portugal
Cooking Competition in Porto
Run a city-wide cooking competition: teams source ingredients from the Bolhao market, then cook against each other in a private kitchen with a Michelin-trained judge. The prize is bragging rights and a bottle of vintage port.
Barcelona, Spain
Milestone Celebration in Barcelona
Mark a major company milestone on a private modernista rooftop: a dinner for up to 60 with live music and custom menus, with an optional Meridian-tracked impact session the next morning.
Douro Valley, Portugal
Wine Harvest Team Building in the Douro
Bring a group of up to 35 into the Douro for three days of grape-picking, winemaking, and shared meals with the family that has farmed the quinta for five generations, with Meridian available to measure the cohesion gains.
Proof
An event we actually built.
Not a mockup or a moodboard. A real program we designed end to end, in the words of the client who hired us.
Private Charter
Your team. Your yacht. The Adriatic.
Full private charter for corporate groups along the Croatian coast. No shared itinerary, no strangers on board - just your team, a world-class crew, and the islands of Dalmatia at your own pace. We handle everything from provisioning to exclusive village dinners ashore. It is one of the most requested formats we offer.
Explore the YachtMeasure Team Impact
Turn a great event into board-ready proof.
Running a team-building event, leadership retreat, or alignment offsite? Meridian - our proprietary AI-powered measurement platform - can track the impact. Psychometric baseline before the event. Daily pulse during. Then 30, 90-day, or up to 18-month follow-up to prove sustained change. No other operator in the industry offers this. We built it because twenty years of producing transformation for individuals taught us that the proof matters as much as the experience.

Events & Groups - Common Questions
Tell us what you're imagining. We'll tell you how to make it real.
Every program we build starts with a conversation. There is no form that captures what we need to know - and no catalog that contains what we'll design for you.
