Our town halls
Building corporate culture, belonging and innovation
At VDA Telkonet, we believe technology matters but people come first.
Our innovations in smart hospitality would not exist without the creativity, dedication and collaboration of the people who bring them to life every day. That is why, twice a year, we gather for our corporate town halls: a cornerstone of our workplace culture and a vital moment to strengthen connection, engagement and shared purpose across all our global teams.
During these events, screens go dark, emails are paused, and daily tasks give way to something even more important: time dedicated to listening and reconnecting. For a few hours, the focus shifts from projects and deadlines to what truly drives our corporate culture forward: people. By creating this intentional pause, our town halls nurture employee engagement, encourage dialogue across borders and provide the space to align on the values that guide our path of workplace innovation in the hospitality industry.
OUR PURPOSE
A company-wide culture ritual
Originally created as simple internal updates, VDA Telkonet’s town halls have evolved into a cornerstone of our corporate culture: a collective ritual that goes far beyond sharing news. Today, they are recognized as a safe and inclusive space where colleagues can listen, exchange ideas and align on our shared vision of innovation, sustainability and long-term strategic goals.
From Croatia to the UK, from Dubai to Wisconsin, and at our headquarters in Pordenone, each town hall strengthens the bond within our global teams. These gatherings not only reinforce our sense of belonging, but also nurture employee engagement and collaboration across borders. By creating this common ground, we ensure that every voice contributes to shaping our journey, turning workplace connections into drivers of workplace innovation and new solutions for the hospitality industry.
OUR VALUES
The power of courage in shaping our culture
Our latest edition focused on one of our core values: courage.
At VDA Telkonet, courage is not only a personal strength, but a pillar of our corporate culture. It represents the willingness to speak up, challenge established patterns and embrace new perspectives even when the path ahead is uncertain.
We believe that courage, when cultivated collectively, becomes an essential organizational skill. It empowers teams to transform obstacles into opportunities, to make bold decisions with clarity, and to see change as an engine for growth. In this sense, courage is directly linked to workplace innovation, driving us to experiment, to improve and to push the boundaries of what is possible in the hospitality industry.
Courage is also about people. It encourages openness, dialogue, and employee engagement, creating an environment where everyone feels valued and safe to contribute. This shared mindset strengthens our global community and ensures that the solutions we design are not only technologically advanced, but also deeply connected to the human experience of hospitality.
OUR CULTURE
More than an event:
a culture in motion
For us, town halls are far more than company events.
They are living proof of a corporate culture that listens, evolves and grows stronger together. Every edition is an opportunity to nurture dialogue, strengthen trust, and create alignment across our global teams.
Through these shared experiences, we foster not only employee engagement but also a sense of belonging that drives collaboration and organizational growth. Town halls demonstrate how our people are at the center of every decision, ensuring that innovation is not just a goal but a practice embedded in daily work.
By embracing this culture of openness and courage, we continue to shape the future of VDA Telkonet and the hospitality solutions we deliver worldwide. It is here, in these moments of connection, that the foundations of true workplace innovation are built.
