Some would say we are at a turning point in the incentive travel industry. Others would say it is business as usual. Mixed messages are coming from corporations, intermediaries and companies that supply the industry. Globalization, consolidation and corporate social responsibility have become common terms. So what is really happening?

At the SITE International Conference 2008 in Montreux, Switzerland, we will learn from the past, understand the present and plan for the future. The conference will be the platform to launch new initiatives within SITE that will provide the foundation to build upon in the years ahead. The direction of the incentive travel industry is in our hands. It is time to unite, set trends and mold the industry into what we want it to be.

We can only achieve these objectives collectively, by coming together at what will be one of the most memorable international conferences in SITE history. The 2008 host committee looks forward to welcoming you to Montreux.

Sincerely,
Paul Miller
SITE International Conference 2008 Chair
