On October 10th, 2022 – something amazing happened. For the first time since the pandemic, the entire Tamman team gathered together in our home office for a long overdue corporate retreat. Many of us got to see old friends for the first time in ages, and all of us got to meet the friends we made while the world changed around us.
Having been at Tamman myself for 5 great years now, seeing everyone old and new reunited sparked a strong sense of gratitude for the community we have built here, mainly through how little had actually changed when it came to our interactions, and how when we all come together there is very little we can’t do. That energy in the room throughout the day was electric and I had the pleasure of documenting it all. Without any further ado, I’d love to share some of that warmth with you all via photographs and descriptive text below.
Tamman CEO Jeff Tamburino greets some of the digital designers over a cup of coffee before the day begins.
Tamman President Marty Molloy addresses the crowd with a warm welcome.
Marty sits down with our Mac Engineering team to catch up and talk about their itinerary for the day.
Team Members old and new get to know each other with a fun exercise: everyone was fitted with a picture of a celebrity or historical figure on their back and were made to guess who was on their back with hints from their colleagues.
Marty presents Jeff with a gift from everyone: a tambourine signed by everyone in attendance – putting the tambourine in Tamburino.
James and Cameron sit down and attempt to construct a small Lego set. James gives Cameron instructions while Cameron wears glasses that simulate a visual disability.
Ryan, Hunter, Sam, and Jose rush to build a bike for charity, while their teammates work to build another in the background.
Alejandra delivers an impassioned presentation to her team about some of the best meals she’s ever eaten.
Jeff joins the Mac Engineering team to discuss their roadmap for 2023, surrounded by whiteboards, water bottles, and big ideas.
Devon and Bill prepare to build a small Lego set while wearing gloves that simulate severe arthritis.
A group of our digital designers and e-mail developers sit down for a round of ice breakers, asking each other funny questions to get to know one another better.
Sloan sends us all out on a scavenger hunt throughout Old City Philadelphia, where shenanigans were sure to occur – and occur they did.
After the scavenger hunt, we all headed back to the office for a round of drinks over dinner.
