Site leaders gathered in Paris, France for three Site events that focused on European market conditions and supporting European members in achieving their business objectives. With Site’s Executive Summit, a meeting of the International Board of Directors and a European Chapter leadership meeting, the week held a powerful mix of shared business intelligence, education and insight into what 2010 holds for the motivational events industry. Professionals from all industry facets converged for a thought provoking discussion about needs of partners in Europe and to analyze current trends.
Site President, Sean Mahoney, comments; “We were inspired to be involved with the local community in France to create such an important week for the Site organization. Throughout the dialogue it was clear that industry organizations who apply sensibility and transparency will achieve growth as the economy picks up.”
The Executive Summit brought together the collective wisdom of professionals from 20 countries. Education seminars focused on understanding the evolving market place as well as a special emphasis on the pharmaceutical meetings, the incentives industry and new ways to look at business models and pricing structures.
Site CEO, Brenda Anderson, states; "Our global presence and connections inform us that the Global Economy is starting to show signs of change with powerful positioning occurring in the BRIC markets. Site’s European chapter leaders converged in France to discuss how to provide critical education within their own countries so that Site members can support motivational programs and events with smarter degree of self regulation.”
The diversity of professionals and topics of the week reflected Site's vision, promise and strategic plan, built on three core brand pillars: Global Connections, Motivational Experiences and Business Results. Site acknowledges its partners for supporting these meetings: Canadian Tourism Commission, Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Intercontinental Paris Le Grand, Yatchs de Paris and the community of Paris, France.
The pinnacle event in the motivational events industry is the Site International Conference, which in 2010 will take place Cape Town, South Africa 4–7 December.
