Cascais blends the ease of a seaside resort with the elegance of a former royal retreat. Once the summer escape of Portuguese kings, this coastal town now charms visitors with its golden beaches, marina, and charming old town streets. Known for its relaxed atmosphere, fresh seafood, and dramatic coastline, Cascais offers a refined yet laid-back setting on the Portuguese coast.
In November 2027, join us in this coastal gem for a Break The Ice Forum full of charm and ease. With the ocean as a backdrop and the historic town center close by, it's the perfect setting to connect and unwind.
