We travelled together.

Xavier MulliezBoard members of the Mulliez family · Geneva, Lausanne, Vallée de Joux
“In:Expeditions lives up to its motto and truly took us to where the world is being invented. In five days we got a wide-ranging digest of the issues shaping today’s and tomorrow’s world. We loved it! It was magical.”
Fanny BrûléClient · CDE entrepreneurs, four days in Marrakech
“The group truly loved it. It was smooth, intense, sincere and very well paced, all at once. A real collective wake-up call.”
Laurent B.Executive committee of a major French house · reference trips
“Seeing how other houses bring together place, story and impact saved us years. We leave with concrete ideas, deep inspiration and a shared vision.”
Anne-France DesmazièresCDE entrepreneurs · Marrakech
“I had never seen this Marrakech. Every encounter unsettled me just enough. Nothing was overplayed, everything rang true.”
Brieuc SartoriusBoard members of the Mulliez family · Geneva, Lausanne, Vallée de Joux
“This learning expedition week was an incredible source of inspiration and perspective! I was impressed by the quality and variety of the speakers, the great facilitation of the debates, and seamless logistics!”
Nicolo L.Executive committee of a major French house · reference trips
“The experience let me step back from our project in Cognac. It wasn’t a benchmark, it was a real journey of strategic inspiration.”
Simon DewavrinCDE entrepreneurs · Marrakech
“I liked the variety of formats: from a botanical walk to a craft workshop, through shared meals and more structured debates. We were never passive, always involved.”
Cécile Marchand-CassagneExecutive committee of a major French house · reference trips
“These trips exceeded all our expectations. The level of personalisation, the coherence of the sequences, the quality of the speakers… everything was just right.”

How it works

Three steps, from brief to on-site support

  2. Our recommendationsTwo to four destination ideas, with a first budget estimate.
  3. On the groundA travel book for participants; our journalists and expedition leads run the conversations and guide the moments of reflection, so that everyone leaves with actions to take back to their organisation.
