Summer, sun, wakeboard action: our evoila summer party 2025

Sometimes, as an IT professional, you just have to get out of the daily grind – away from the screen, out of the office and into the sunshine!

This is precisely why our annual summer party has a firm place in the evoila calendar. It’s the perfect opportunity to reboot the team spirit software, clear your head and test your balance not only on the job, but also on the water.

A sunny start  

On July 4, it was that time again: summer party at WAKEPORT Rhein Main. Bright blue skies and warm summer temperatures made for perfect conditions. All evoila employees were provided with sun cream, evoila sunglasses and fans – so everyone was well equipped for a hot summer’s day.

This year, the official launch took place with the words: “Welcome everyone to the Sommerfest 2025!” – Johannes Hiemer (right in the picture), “Get together, make friendships with people from other countries.” – Jürgen Horak (center in the picture) and “Let’s get started!” – Carsten Landeck (left in the picture).

While many initially enjoyed the relaxed beach atmosphere, the first brave souls were quickly drawn to the water. Spoiler: Not everyone stayed dry.

Wakeboarding & wipeouts: the ultimate fun on the water 

Wakeboard under your feet, leash in your hand – and off you go! For some it was the very first time, for others it was almost routine. Some colleagues discovered hidden talents, others… well, learned very quickly how refreshing the water can be – much to the delight of the spectators on the beach! – #failfastlearnfaster!  

Those who wanted to take a more relaxed approach also got their chance: from daring jumps to elegant paddle attempts on the SUP (stand-up paddle) – there was something for everyone, from action heroes to chillers.

Team games and hot matches on the beach 

It wasn’t just on the water – there was also plenty of action on the beach! Whether it was Beer Pong, the popular Cornhole game of skill, in which sandbags are thrown into a hole on a sloping wooden platform, or the legendary swivel beer challenge – fun was guaranteed.

Spikeball, a fast and action-packed game in which two teams play the ball over a small round net on the ground, provided even more movement. In between, the soccer was also held high and some tried their hand at little juggling tricks.

If you really wanted to get into the beach party mood, you could get a temporary tattoo at our tattoo station. The motifs? From cool IT insider jokes to summery designs – the perfect (temporary) souvenir.

And of course, the photo box was not to be missed. With fun accessories and creative poses, it made for cool team photos – and unforgettable memories of the day.

Relax, drink cocktails and feel the beach vibe!

The sunshades and comfortable evoila deckchairs were the perfect place to relax. Those who wanted a break from the action could make themselves comfortable on the sand, let their gaze wander over the water and simply unwind. The beach and cocktail bar kept us supplied with cool cocktails and refreshing mocktails throughout the day.

With a drink in your hand, sunglasses on your nose and your feet in the warm sand, you really felt like you were on vacation. Many used the moment to get to know each other better in relaxed conversations with colleagues from other teams and other countries – without any meetings, deadlines or project stress.

Another highlight: from the location, you could watch the planes landing every minute at the nearby airport.

Pizza, waffles & midnight snacks

In culinary terms, the summer party left nothing to be desired: A pizza trolley provided us with fresh creations, while sweet and savory variations were offered at the waffle stand. There was also a small barbecue station.

Late at night, another surprise awaited us: a midnight snack in the form of delicious hot dogs – also in a vegetarian version, of course. Just the right thing to recharge your batteries for the dance floor.

Glow sticks, dance floor & party into the night

As the sun went down, the beach really came alive once again: Glow sticks lit up in all colors, the music got louder and the dance floor filled up. With cool party music, chilled drinks and an exuberant atmosphere, the relaxed beach vibe turned into a cheerful summer party. The relaxed atmosphere, the get-together and the special location created the perfect summer vibes – and an evening we won’t soon forget.

More than just a party – a thank you to everyone that counts 

Our summer festival is much more than just a day at the beach – it is our way of saying “thank you”. Thank you for your commitment, your ideas and your contribution to our joint success. In a world that is becoming increasingly digital, such moments of real encounters are all the more valuable. Far away from Zoom meetings, we were able to meet in person, laugh together, play and simply switch off.

Our team is growing every year. Will we be able to go one better in 2026? We will see. In any case, the bar is set high!
