This cycle of meetings organized by Caixa Geral de Depósitos began in 2017. Over the years, 38 conferences were held in 36 cities, with the participation of 320 speakers, including Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, António Costa e Silva, António Lobo Xavier, Luis Marques Mendes, Paulo Portas, Miguel Sousa Tavares, and Jose Pacheco Pereira. 128 companies were also present, who had the opportunity to present their respective businesses.
In April 2019, the second cycle of Encontros Fora da Caixa began. In addition to the economic and territorial aspect, which characterized the first phase, it also brought a cultural and artistic dimension.
In 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, two meetings were held, only in digital format, in a more intimate and reflective register, starring Pedro Abrunhosa’s conversations with Cardinal José Tolentino de Mendonça and the writer Gonçalo M. Tavares.
In 2021, with the reduction of the restriction measures, it was possible to hold five more meetings in Chaves, Porto, Portimão, Tomar and Barcelos. The differences of each place and the challenges faced by the business sector were once again on the agenda. This year, the Meetings have already passed through Porto; through the island of Pico, in the Azores and through Sines and now they return to the north of the country, where a large part of the business fabric is concentrated.
