In October, Tapp Network's remote team took a break from screens and screen shares and headed to Annapolis, Maryland, for a team retreat filled with energy, insight, and plenty of laughs! Tapp may operate remotely, but we know there’s something special about gathering in person that can’t be replicated online. That’s why every year, we prioritize an in-person team retreat designed to strengthen our culture, drive our strategies, and give us all a much-needed chance to reconnect beyond the work.
Embracing the Spirit of Tapp Culture
From the moment we arrived, it was clear this retreat was about more than just working together—it was about reconnecting with colleagues, building camaraderie, and celebrating what makes Tapp Network thrive. Despite working remotely, the team didn’t miss a beat when it came to joining together for every session and challenge with enthusiasm. Our culture is driven by collaboration and respect for each person’s unique strengths, and this retreat allowed us to amplify those connections in a way that’s hard to match in a Zoom room.
Kicking Off with Strategy, Wrapping Up with Laughter
The retreat struck a perfect balance between strategic focus and fun. We dove into big-picture discussions during our strategy sessions, where team members from every department weighed in on future goals, campaigns, and ways to elevate our impact in the year to come. These moments helped us align on the vision that fuels Tapp’s unique place in digital transformation.
But what’s a Tapp retreat without some fun? We took team-building to the next level with an Annapolis-themed scavenger hunt that blended local history, creativity, and a dash of competition. From deciphering clues to exploring the harbor, the scavenger hunt brought out our collective energy and adventurous spirit, sparking even more connections among team members. And of course, there were plenty of laughs, inside jokes, and priceless memories made along the way.
While our day-to-day operations happen remotely, we recognize the value of in-person interactions. Retreats like this remind us why we prioritize setting aside time to be together: to deepen our connections, share experiences, and recharge as a team. It’s these moments—filled with camaraderie, mutual support, and genuine enthusiasm—that form the foundation of our exceptional culture.
As we head back to our home offices, we’re energized and motivated to continue driving Tapp Network’s mission forward. This retreat served as a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish together when we set aside time to reconnect. We returned to our workspaces not only with fresh ideas and strategies but also with a renewed sense of purpose and connection to each other.
Here’s to many more moments like these, to a thriving team culture, and to the power of in-person connection in our remote world!
