BeachBootCamp 2022
Since the opening of the isolutions office in Barcelona, the dream has existed: Someday the entire isolutions crew will fly to Barcelona and discuss, tinker and celebrate together on the beach. This year, our founders have made this dream come true for us.

Business Speed Dating
After traditional Spanish tapas and a lot of (really a lot of) laughter and hearty exchanges, the vision speed datings started. The employees could participate in 4 of 6 sessions according to their interest and gain insights into the strategic topics of isolutions. During 20 minutes, the keynote speakers explained what each topic is about and how we can use this to more actively shape the future of our customers.
The Topics
- Cybersecurity
- Consulting to be different
- WaaS, AOaaS, XaaS
- WSFT (We shape the future)
- Skill Model
- Excellence in Communication
After the informative and inspiring vision speed datings, the employees gathered in their respective business units to end the evening with individual programs such as a GoCar tour through Barcelona, a sailing tour or beach volleyball on the beach.
On Friday morning, all employees gathered in the hotel lobby early in the morning and were ready for the upcoming keynote speeches by Chris Friedemann Dickhaus, Franz Immer and Daniel Arber.

Business Hackathon
On Friday afternoon, the time had finally come and David Schneider, our CEO of Barcelona, opened the first isolutions Business Hackathon, in which the entire crew participated. In the weeks leading up to BeachBootCamp, various customers were contacted to find out what challenges they were currently facing. The goal of the Business Hackathon was to develop innovative solutions for the existing business challenges in interdisciplinary teams during four hours. The focus was not on the technology, but on understanding the customer's business and the challenges to be solved.
The various teams were divided across all roles and departments. During four hours, they diligently discussed, sketched and already developed the first prototypes. It was very exciting to see how the partly unknown team members inspired and motivated each other within a very short time. The resulting solutions were then presented to the jury in an elevator pitch in the semi-finals. The grand finale was approaching and the tension was rising. The best teams from each challenge presented their solution in plenary and the whole crew could vote on the best pitch via app. A day full of inspiration, innovation and for us another step to actively shape the future of our customers. #weshapethefuture
We saved the big fireworks for last.
After an exciting and lively hackathon, several buses were already waiting to transport the whole company to our party location on the beach in Barcelona. True to isolutions' tradition, the end of such an event was celebrated properly. The whole crew celebrated, danced and laughed until late in the evening.
Back in our offices we are inspired by the different sessions and keynote speeches, motivated by the exchange with our colleagues and a bit wistful looking at the memories made.
