Highland Games, BBQ and No-Screens Create Perfect Cocktail for IgniteData's Worldwide Gathering
For one week each year IgniteData, the clinical trial technology company, bring together their worldwide team to share the same timezone to collaborate and catchup. This year they chose Scotland and Winton Castle, the corporate events venue, where they enjoyed a Mini Highland Games and lunch.
IgniteData’s Archer technology transforms the way hospitals and research sites transfer patient data for clinical trials. Archer integrates data transcription between electronic health records and electronic data capture which saves time and costs, reduces errors and speeds up patients’ access to treatments.
A spokesperson from IgniteData says:
“We were looking for a team-building experience that felt culturally meaningful and inclusive, and Winton Castle aligned perfectly with that vision. It offered a unique setting that brought everyone together in a memorable way.
“Our entire company took part in the event, with team members travelling from across the US, UK, Portugal, and beyond. The goal for the day was to strengthen team connections, unplug from technology, and simply enjoy time together.”
'A Fantastic and Memorable Experience'
“We took part in the Mini–Highland Games. The experience was complemented by tea and coffee beforehand, followed by a rustic lunch and dessert.
“Our team consistently described our away day as a fantastic and memorable experience.
“The castle itself is stunning, and the Highland cows were a definite favourite with our team.
“The staff truly elevated the experience; they were warm, welcoming, and highly engaging. The Winton events team running the games brought great energy, humour, and encouragement, making the day even more enjoyable.”
Winton Castle is a tranquil, inspiring venue for corporate events, from team away days and company celebrations to client entertaining. The events venue’s clients have included Computershare, Panda & Sons, Aveni, Spectra Travel, The Real Mary King’s Close and Edinburgh University.
Many of Winton Castle’s clients choose to combine meetings with activities like a mini-Highland Games and other outdoor experiences, creating a day that’s both productive and entertaining.
