"We're going to Saas-Fee!!!! Right?" Two blue eyes beam at me with confidence. "Of course, now you've finally guessed!" I reply with my usual wink, which hopefully makes the recipient doubt my answer. Such pre-coffee-machine-waiting interrogations became more frequent for the anniversary organization team Daniela T., Leandra, Monika and me the closer our event, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Netstream, came. The excitement grew immeasurably as we boarded the two buses on the day of departure.

Arrived at the beautiful 4* Hotel Eiger Selfness in Grindelwald, we found ourselves in the rustic, hotel-owned restaurant Barry's and enjoyed our individually prepared Mongolian punch.

After a short walk we reached the Eiger+, THE bar in pretty Grindelwald. Today it was written in big letters: "CLOSED SOCIETY!" on the door. Not closed at all, but quite open and cordial, it went on inside the bar. The band MAXIN turned up the heat and even colleagues who never danced could not be held back. Employees whirled around skillfully in standard dance and one colleague impressed everyone with his acrobatic skills! Time flew by and fortunately, everyone thought, this was only the beginning...

Saturday morning could be spent individually, which was used for a good night's sleep, breakfast and morning sports. After lunch together, 8 members of a film event crew turned up to inform the surprised Netstream about the afternoon program. In a nutshell: 3 teams create 3 films and an Oscar ceremony takes place in the evening. The teams were drawn by lot and gathered separately to vote on the film and divide up the various tasks. So the intern became a redhead, the quiet developer became a lively, green-faced witch, incompetent cowboys, heavily armed bad boys and a fluting blonde were running around everywhere. Filming took place outside, in hotel rooms and even in a church under high pressure. Against the idyllic mountain backdrop, there were nasty staged brawls, Titanic re-enactments and even murder. Sequences were shot over and over again until everything was in the can by the evening! Now the hard work began for the film crew: editing the films.

We, on the other hand, dressed in our prettiest clothes, gathered for dinner. At Barrys, we were once again treated to fantastic wine, top service and a delicious festive dish. It became quiet around #TeamNetstream, with only the occasional "Mmmmmmmmmhhhhh!" to be heard. We were woken from our food dreams by a "Happy Birthday to you!". In addition to Netstream, a long-standing employee was also celebrating his birthday! All the more reason to celebrate again today. The red carpet had already been rolled out for us at Eiger+, where the Netstream strutted into the bar and took their seats on neatly lined up bar stools in front of a big screen.

The Oscar night could begin. The crowd was already roaring and clapping in the first few minutes. People cheered and congratulated each other on the great acting performance, the amazing disguise or make-up transformation. Afterwards, with the help of a decibel meter, we chose the Oscar winners in the categories of best actress, best actor and best film.

Then things got emotional: the congratulatory video for the three founders, secretly recorded by all employees, celebrated its premiere. Alexis, Dom and Reto were visibly moved and surprised. Alexis emphasized in his speech of thanks to all those present that they had not suspected a thing! Everyone toasted the three of them to another 20 years, proud to have contributed to the success of Netstream ! A perfect way to end this wonderful day, dancing the night away.

Sitting on the bus the next morning, I felt that very special atmosphere that only happens when a really cool group spends an unforgettable time together. The weekend was a success all around.

THANK YOU SO MUCH to the founders of Netstream Alexis, Dom and Reto that we were able to celebrate such a wonderful and gigantic anniversary weekend with you!
