The SITE Foundation will be holding their first Board of Trustees meeting of 2015 in conjunction with the SITE Board meeting and Executive Summit.
The SITE Executive Summit is an annual initiative that takes the organization’s Board of Directors and the SITE Foundation Board of Trustees to parts of the world that can leverage the experience and knowledge of this global group of leaders in the incentive travel and motivational events industry. This year’s summit is being held on 11 February 2015 at the JW Marriott Marquis, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
“One of our strategic priorities is to grow SITE’s membership and influence in the Middle East and Asia so we are excited to be returning to Dubai for our 12th annual Executive Summit,” said SITE president, Rhonda Brewer. “Dubai hosted the first summit in 2004 and we feel this is the perfect time to come back, particularly with the continued expansion of Dubai, its focus on ultimate luxury and experience and the growing interest of the incentive travel market in the region.”
The SITE Foundation will be holding their first Board of Trustees meeting of 2015 in conjunction with the SITE Board meeting and Executive Summit. Both boards will come together for a joint session with global research on incentive travel and the growing the influence of the industry at the top of the agenda.
During the education day, Board members and Foundation trustees will conduct an educational program on incentive travel that will broaden the local travel and hospitality community’s understanding of the unique needs of the industry. Participants will learn from an unparalleled panel of experts how to market their destination, gain insight on the latest trends and receive practical knowledge about incentive travel that they can immediately apply to grow their business.
“As one of the globe’s most exciting destinations for business and leisure tourism, Dubai has come a long way since 2004,” stated Steen Jakobsen, Director Dubai Business Events. “For this reason, we are excited to welcome back leading experts from the global incentive travel and motivational events industry so they can all see for themselves just how much the city has accomplished over the last decade.”
“We want to thank our sponsor, Dubai Business Events – the Official Convention Bureau for encouraging us to return to the destination and also hosts, JW Marriott Marquis, Emirates, Ovation Global DMC and MCI Global for their support of the summit,” Brewer added.
