CHICAGO, IL – The Society for Incentive Travel Excellence (SITE) announces their support and involvement in the first annual North American Meetings Industry Day (NAMID). On April 16, 2015, SITE will join with Meetings Mean Business (MMB) and industry leaders, to spotlight the substantial value derived from business meetings, conferences, conventions, incentive travel, trade shows and exhibitions by connecting people and driving positive business results throughout the continent. MMB coalition members, in addition to industry leaders across Canada and Mexico, will host and drive events in communities all across their respective countries.
SITE Global Education Week, 13-17 April 2015, is designed to create awareness and celebrate the impact that the global incentive travel industry has on business and economic growth. Throughout the week, SITE will share insightful interviews with SITE leaders and education specific to the incentive travel industry. In addition, SITE chapters around the world will hold regional events to address the needs of their marketplace and showcase the rich expertise of the SITE member network.
