From São Paulo to Paradise

Following a busy week at SiGMA South America – a high energy conference and expo taking place in São Paulo – you’ve earnt a little rest and relaxation. This April, from the 10th to 12th, SiGMA is whisking away 50 top affiliates with LatAm traffic to Brazil’s beautiful island paradise of Santa Catarina.

Ease into the retreat experience with poolside welcome drinks and your choice of spa indulgence or beachside relaxation.

Day one brings high-energy adventure with a thrilling rafting excursion, followed by a Brazilian barbecue lunch aboard a private boat. Head back out to sea, with pit stops at three stunning islands. The night ends in style with a beachfront dinner and a party under the stars. On the second day, enjoy a slow morning with breakfast, city strolls, and souvenir shopping before wrapping up the retreat with a final shared lunch. Then it’s wheels-up back to São Paulo – refreshed, recharged, and ready for what’s next.

From Our Last Retreat

It’s truly wonderful—the landscape is breathtaking. I’m so happy to be here in Marrakech with some of my friends. I’m also excited to meet new people I’ve heard great things about—people who’ve achieved impressive business success. Getting to know them not only from a professional perspective but also on an individual level, in a setting like this, makes the entire experience unique and meaningful.

I would like to thank the whole SiGMA team for this incredible experience, the whole team was outstanding! I could not write anything negative about El Nido, other than it was too short. After landing in El Nido we were welcomed by – which was amazing after the conference. The first evening dinner event was also great, everyone dressed in white and very tasty drinks. Saturday the whole day was perfect, the lunch experience on the island with incredible food, snorkeling and especially the evening pool party created life-long memories. Thank you again for this wonderful experience.

Big thanks to the whole team for a great event! For me everything was perfect after the hectic conference. It must be very difficult to organize something like this in a less developed country where things are very different from Europe. The whole SiGMA Manila was the best conference for me overall in terms of how smoothly everything went. From registration to finish everything worked perfectly. Despite the long flights and jet lag it was totally worth it. Happy to join again next year!

I'd like to thank the SiGMA team once again for this amazing experience! The dinner and drinks were a fun way to enter vacation mode after the intensity of SiGMA. The next day started with a full-day boat trip, snorkeling and an amazing lunch on a private island. We continued on to a pool party with more food and drinks, shishas, DJ, water games, and lots of good people. Everything was perfectly planned and organized to the smallest details. The rooms were clean and spacious, the staff was kind and helpful, and the organizers constantly made sure that we were enjoying our time there. I personally enjoyed every minute and extended my vacation in El Nido. Looking forward to the next event!

First, a massive "Thank You" to you folks for making this possible. The event was extremely well organised, memorable, and productive. We had much deeper and more personal conversations here than is possible in a conference setting. I just hope that you will keep doing this in the future. To be honest, this was perfect. The only thing that one may ask for is to make it longer. You did an excellent job, and I really-really hope that you also will see it as a success from your end.
