Society for Incentive Travel Excellence (SITE) Foundation has altered its approach to meet the demands of its members and the industry in an ever-changing global marketplace. Foundation’s updated mission is to create compelling content to inform business professionals of the results incentive travel produces, and to provide industry insights to further careers of current incentive professionals.
Three annual fundraising and business networking events provide a majority of the Foundation’s funding. In September, SITE Classic brought an exclusive group of 250 incentive travel leaders and decision makers to Los Cabos, Mexico for business networking and education. SITE Nite Europe, held in May in Frankfurt, gathered IMEX Hosted Buyers, SITE members and industry colleagues to bridge distances and forge connections with peers around the world. SITE Nite North America, one of the most popular events of IMEX America week, sold out with more than 1200 people in attendance at the Brooklyn Bowl in Las Vegas. And, for a third year, the Foundation hosted Auction 2.0, an online auction, where the public was invited to bid on more than 70 unique travel experiences.
Since July of 2016, the Foundation has amped up investment to provide a regular cadence of valued incentive content. This year the Foundation unveiled Motivate – a dynamic online intelligence hub that serves as a repository of content for the incentive travel industry, centralizing all resources in a single, online location.
On November 27, 2017 SITE offers an Incentive Seminar in Barcelona where you can join top incentive travel professionals including SITE members, ibtm world hosted buyers and key industry decision makers for an afternoon of education and networkin before ibtm world begins. While on January 12-14, 2018 SITE invites to the SITE + MPI Global Forum in Rome.
