Head of National Challenges & Events Department ORANGEWe selected Deauville for its charm, its reputation, its proximity to Paris, and for the quality of its hotels.
The C.I.D. seemed to us to be the perfect place to organize our event: indeed, located at the seaside and having an infrastructure corresponding in all points to our needs (auditorium, rooms of under commissions, Terrace...)
Our convention was widely acclaimed by all our guests in 2017, so we repeated the adventure in 2018 by changing the format to surprise our guests ... the bet was daring however we took up the challenge together and made a full house (99.5% satisfaction rate ... never seen!)
The great strength of C.I.D. is the quality of all the teams on the site: ultra organized, always available, and in search of solutions, they were of a formidable effectiveness, and we appreciated this collaboration very much, as well as all our partners besides!
In a few words, it is the collective that made this event a success!
A huge Bravo and Thank you to the C.I.D teams for having received and accompanied us with so much professionalism and benevolence on our 2 editions: a pure pleasure for us! -
