Istanbul Corporate Ice Skating Event

Overview

Ice skating is the only winter-themed corporate option that is not dependent on snow. Indoor rinks operate year round; the programme can be built the same way in December or in July, and there is no cancellation risk at all.

Everyone starts from the same place

The large majority of participants have never skated, and for the first ten minutes everyone holds the barrier. In a corporate group this produces an unexpected equality: seniority, age and sporting background confer no advantage on the ice. Falling together and holding on to each other creates more natural interaction than a designed team exercise. For a group meeting for the first time, or one mixing people from several offices, that levelling is the point.

How the programme runs

• Equipment. Skates are provided by the facility; thick socks are recommended.
• Instructor support. Basic stance, gliding and stopping technique for the first 20-30 minutes.
• Support aids. Facilities with balance aids for beginners are preferred.
• Games section. Relay races or simple ice games turn the session into an event.

The reliability argument

For an incoming team this is the winter activity that cannot fail. It needs no snow, no weather window and no transfer out of the city, and it runs in a two to three hour block that fits an evening. Where a winter programme wants a seasonal feel but cannot absorb a cancellation, this is the answer rather than a trip to a mountain.

Safety

Gloves are mandatory — hands are the most commonly injured area in a fall. Helmets are recommended particularly for first-timers and are available at the facility. Wrist guards can be requested. Falling is inevitable, and the safe falling position is demonstrated in the briefing.
