SITE and FICP partner to boost the incentive travel industry by offering dual memberships, expanding access to global networks and educational resources for corporate planners.
CHICAGO – The Society for Incentive Travel Excellence (SITE) and Financial & Insurance Conference Professionals (FICP) announce an initiative to strengthen the global incentive travel industry.
Commencing with immediate effect, any eligible corporate meetings professional who renews or joins FICP for 2025 will be offered a complimentary membership to SITE.
This initiative will grant FICP members access to SITE’s extensive network of professionals, education and resources specific to incentive travel, enhancing their ability to design and deliver world-class incentive programs.
“We are thrilled to partner with FICP on this initiative,” said Annette Gregg, MBA, CMM, chief executive officer of SITE. “Incentive travel is an essential part of the reward and recognition strategy of many finance & insurance organizations. Through their SITE membership, FICP members can now connect with the incentive travel industry’s best and brightest. This collaboration allows us to support corporate planners with the insights, research and professional network they need to excel in delivering transformative travel experiences for the benefit of their respective organizations.”
Steve Bova, CAE, executive director of FICP, echoed these sentiments. “FICP’s mission is to strengthen our members through education, outreach and partnerships so that the positive impact and value of their work is fully recognized by both their organizations as well as the meetings and events industry. By offering SITE membership, we’re providing our members with the unique advantage of access to global expertise and resources on incentive travel beyond the financial and insurance sector.”
FICP members who take advantage of this offer will gain immediate access to SITE’s vast library of research, in-depth professional certifications, networking opportunities, and a global calendar of events.
As part of this collaboration, both organizations are reinforcing their commitment to supporting corporate planners in the financial and insurance sectors, particularly as incentive travel continues to be a powerful tool for motivation and performance.
This initiative underscores SITE and FICP’s shared mission to drive the success of corporate planners and elevate the industry worldwide.
