Culinary team building event

Iron chef challenge

It's not a surprise corporate Calgary likes a good challenge. Channel your team's competitive energy into a unique culinary experience that is sure to dominate water cooler conversations both before and after.

Looking for something different? The interactive reception puts a new spin on the standard cocktail party. SAIT staff work with you to create a fun and relaxed social event built around interactive food stations.

Game on! Our Get Energy team challenges create authentic opportunities for corporate teams to get their hands dirty. Using state-of-the-art labs and simulators, participants will train using real world scenarios. Teams will work together to achieve actual industry targets and outcomes and, because a little competition never hurt anyone, we'll be keeping score.

We know communication between the field, operations and administration is challenging if your team isn't connected by a common goal. Similarly, your customer relationships are impacted when the team and clients aren't speaking the same language.

Our world class instructors at the MacPhail School of Energy offer this fun and informative way to bridge the gap for non-technical teams working in the energy sector.
