Great week, lots of laughs and fun. Lovely to meet you all and especially, meeting our team face to face. Thank you 5Elk for facilitating a great week. Here’s to the next one. 🙏





ARRIVAL IN CEBU
Look out for your ELKonnect Meet and Greet team who will meet you in the airport and take you & your belongings to the Shangri-La Hotel or wherever else you’re staying.


Afternoon
AT YOUR LEISURE
Ease into the day at your own pace. You can recharge, wander around the resort, take a dip in the pool, or simply unwind after your flight. Think of it as your soft launch into ELKonnect week.
Evening
WELCOME DRINKS
We’ll get the party started with a social mixer, overlooking the beautiful beach in Mactan. Expect music, dancing, drinks & some pica-pica.

Morning & Afternoon
VISIT TO 5 ELK HEADQUARTERS
You’ll be heading to 5 ELK HQ – the heart of where everything happens. During your visit, you’ll take a guided tour, meet the people behind the scenes, and get a feel for how our teams work day to day. We’ll also share insights, learnings, and best practices from across the ELK community, and you’ll have time to exchange ideas with fellow business owners.


Evening
DINNER WITH YOUR TEAM
Head out for a meal with your team member and enjoy some real face-to-face time. They’ll know exactly where to take you – and if not, we definitely have recommendations. Cebu has plenty of great spots, whether you’re in the mood for comfort food or feeling adventurous. Your only job: enjoy the company.
Evening
KARAOKE SING OFF
After dinner, we’ll bring everyone back together for karaoke, because nothing builds connection quite like singing your heart out with people you just met. Expect a mix of confident performers, surprise talents, and that one song that gets the whole room involved.

Morning
COMMUNITY OUTREACH WITH YOUR TEAM
Join the 5 ELK team for a shared community initiative that brings purpose to our time together in Cebu. This activity is about connection, contribution, and stepping outside the usual work environment to make a difference together.


Afternoon
SUNSET CRUISE
We’ll be taking ELKonnect attendees out on the water for a sunset cruise you won’t want to miss. Expect ocean views, food, drinks, entertainment and plenty of time to enjoy the moment together. Resort-style attire encouraged and bring your best sunset vibes.
Morning & Afternoon
ELKONNECT BARRIO FIESTA
Our final day is all about celebration, a chance to wrap up the week with good food, great company, and a whole lot of fun. Expect a Filipino-style feast, lively entertainment from the 5 ELK team, and a few surprises sprinkled in. It’s the perfect way to end ELKonnect on a high note and enjoy one last memory together before heading home.

Team-building sessions with the 5 ELK team
Opportunities to meet & share ideas with our awesome client businesses
Office space & time for individual coaching with your team member
A mix of group activities and free time to explore the beautiful island of Cebu
We can’t wait to welcome you to vibrant Cebu – the heart of the Philippines!
