SQUER

Looking back at our SQUER Offsite truly is a WOW-moment 🙌 There’s nothing better than experiencing the special team spirit, thirst for knowledge, and dedication of each member of our amazing team 💙   Our Offsite is the time we come together to learn new things, think about the future of SQUER, and connect on a deeper level. It’s also an opportunity to get to know our new colleagues better—especially those from our Munich team 🥨   This year, we introduced the unconference format for the first time, and it was a game-changer! An unconference is a dynamic, participant-driven approach where anyone can propose topics, leading to engaging and interactive discussions. Our sessions spanned everything from software development to team-building themes, sparking meaningful conversations and fresh insights 💡   And of course, we had something extra to celebrate: SQUER’s fifth birthday! 🎉 This milestone was particularly special for those who have been with us from the beginning, witnessing how a great idea transformed into a thriving company with a vibrant team, exciting projects, and amazing clients.   This Offsite reminded us once again of the power of coming together, learning together, and celebrating our shared journey. To every SQUERy who makes us what we are: THANK YOU—you are amazing! Special thanks go out to our amazing organizing team: Katharina Pranjic and Natalia Janacova, thank you so much for making this event happen!   #Teamwork #LearningTogether #CompanyCulture #SQUER #Unconference

At the end of November, we welcomed our clients, partners, and friends for our traditional SQUER Glühweinstandl, turning our office space into a cozy Christmas wonderland. Mulled wine and the glow of holiday lights created the perfect setting to celebrate before we move on to our new office address in January. After more than three years in our beloved home in the third district, it was a heartfelt farewell and a wonderful final memory.
