Candid Cava, Candid Cruise, and the Welcome Party at the Yacht Club formed a curated series of invitation-only experiences designed for senior retail and CPG leaders seeking more meaningful ways to connect. From the serene vineyards of Catalonia to a private open-top yacht along the Barcelona coastline, and an exclusive gathering at a central yacht club, each setting blended refined hospitality with thoughtful, high-level conversation. Guests stepped away from the pace of the main event to engage with industry peers in a more personal, elevated environment; enjoying guided tastings, carefully selected food and drink, and exceptional surroundings. Together, these experiences offered a distinctive opportunity to build genuine relationships and reflect on the future of commerce in a calm, considered atmosphere.
The guest list reflected a notably high level of seniority, including a Chief Executive Officer and Chief Digital Officer at Amazon, a Chief Marketing Officer at American International Industries, and a Commercial Director at Barilla. They were joined by a Director of Global eCommerce at Bayer, a Director of Ecommerce at BIC, and senior directors across digital, category, and commercial strategy from leading international brands.
