With themes like CSR and team-building becoming ever more popular for companies, Gilles Reuland´s Luxembourg-based company Incentive Events have found a real niche in the Grand Duchy. As specialists in corporate and private events management, they cover a broad repertoire with distinctive, tailor-made concepts and thrive on the founder’s determination to impress. “Instead of relying on tried-and-tested methods,” explains the ambitious Luxembourger Reuland, “we’re all about realising the wishes of clients; our philosophy is to create something new, together!” After founding Incentive Events in 2013, he gleefully ticked off a lifelong dream: “To work independently and create something entirely novel.” No stranger to party planning, Reuland’s background in International Tourism Management and experience in social events, festivals, and the non-profit field have honed his strategic organisational skills.
A big success on the growing electronic circuit too, Incentive Events collaborated on August’s Amphitronic Festival and plan to host more music events in 2015. Reuland also manages the eminent music collective MAUVE, a platform for local music producers. A trained cook, Reuland certainly knows what’s cooking on his tailor-made tasting trips. “Luxembourg,” he says with a chuckle, “is a small island within Europe, but unfortunately” the eloquent event planner hesitates, “it’s so small that it isn’t on most people’s radars. But for those who find their way here, they won’t be disappointed.” Reuland believes that each of Luxembourg’s five regions can delight any generation, making a trip more than worthwhile – although he sees a lot of untapped potential in the entertainment industry. Confident and creative, Incentive Events thrives on Reuland’s boundless energy for what he does. His popular bi-monthly travel club, a social gathering of like-minded indi-
viduals hungry for travel, is currently burrowing away planning the ideal route to Euro 2016. For team-building activities, Reuland explains that “the achieved result is immaterial, the process that the group or individual go through to reach the culmination is what counts.” This also reflects the deeper meaning behind the action painting workshops (available in basic, pro and premium packages). Hilarious and pretty messy, participants not only take home a veritable work of art, but also share an experience with their colleagues outside of the daily grind. By placing Incentive Events at the helm of your private or corporate function, you’re choosing a dedicated and experienced team – a team that’ll work tirelessly to impress your guests.
