Sitges + Neurolanguage Coaching = 🧠❤️
Sitges is a picturesque, beautiful Mediterranean coastal town and seaside resort 35km southwest of Barcelona in Catalunya, Spain, with great beaches and excellent facilities and has been recognised as one of the most charming towns on the Catalan coast.
It enjoys a mild and temperate micro climate, which means that visitors can enjoy enviable temperatures every month of the year. The town overlooks the Mediterranean and has large avenues, narrow streets, four museums and the fantastic beaches of Costa Dorada/Golden Coast.

Our speakers will be at strategically located at different parts of the venue; inside the meeting rooms; in the gardens; on the terraces; and will deliver 20 minute talks to the groups of participants that visit them every time. After the 20 minutes talk, there will be a ten minute transit time, for participants to reach the next speaker and to network. Talks will start at 17.00, then again at 17.30, 18.00 and 18.30. So, our speakers will have the chance to talk four times about their topics with their groups of participants. We have some fascinating and amazing topics and speakers. Participants will find it hard to select which ones to visit! with our amazing speakers. | Various locations around the hotel |
