Whether we are making music or writing code – creativity is central to the Amadeus philosophy
Magali Viano
Human Resources Director, Amadeus SAS
Last Friday, on the same day as the Fête de la Musique celebrated every year in France and in other countries around the world, our R&D headquarters near Nice, France was transformed, into a giant venue of festivities to host this year's countryside-themed Summer Party.
Hay stacks, picnic blankets, and straw hats set the tone for a warm summer solstice evening where 1,600 Amadeus employees swayed to the musical talents their colleagues, formed up into four bands playing a mixture of rock, jazz and blues.
This festival of music is truly a bastion of creativity – and it is events like this that foster our professional creativity – keeping us at the forefront of developing innovative travel technology.
Nice has long been the go-to destination for some of history’s greatest minds – from Matisse to Nietzsche – the clean air, rousing landscapes, and soft light of France’s Mediterranean coast have inspired some of the world's most notable creative minds – and today it inspires our employees to push the boundaries of travel technology.
