GoGather has partnered with Strayboots for its Affiliate Program following a successful UNESCO scavenger hunt project. The collaboration expands interactive team-building options for corporate clients globally.

Partnership Built on Successful Project

GoGather, a corporate event planning company based in Escondido, California, has formalized a partnership with team-building experience company Strayboots, adding the latter to its Affiliate Program. The partnership follows a successful collaboration on a customized program for a software company's first-time global leadership meeting.

The client requested a more dynamic wine tasting experience for their young, curious group seeking something different. GoGather and Strayboots transformed a Jeep off-roading tour through a UNESCO World Heritage site into a fully customized scavenger hunt, with 13 teams navigating to locations including the westernmost point of Europe and a local winery.

Teams completed challenges including archery, ropes elements and map-based tasks. The gamified format created natural teamwork and friendly competition, generating positive attendee feedback.

Executive Perspectives on Collaboration

"We are excited to continue our partnership with Strayboots and bring more unique experiences like this to life for our corporate clients," said Brian Kellerman, CEO & Partner at GoGather. "With both our companies operating globally and creative masterminds behind each team, the possibilities are truly endless."

Ido Rabiner, CEO of Strayboots, emphasized alignment between the companies' approaches. "We see a strong alignment between how GoGather designs events and how we approach experience," he said. "There's a shared focus on quality, detail and creating something that feels intentional from start to finish. This partnership allows us to bring that level of execution to more programs globally."

Expanding Interactive Program Design

The partnership will expand GoGather's capacity to build interactive, team-based moments into their programs. The company focuses on designing meaningful experiences that bring teams together in ways that align with each group's personality.

GoGather's Affiliate Program is designed to enhance client experiences by providing a one-stop-shop for event vendors needed for conferences, incentive trips, and corporate meetings. Strayboots operates in over 300 cities worldwide, delivering team-building, CSR programs and corporate event experiences for medium to large groups across conferences, offsites, and incentive events.
