The Society of Incentive & Travel Executives (SITE) made a major addition to its offering for members and the incentive and travel community when it announced entering a partnership with the Incentive Travel Exchange event owned and managed by Questex Media Group, Inc. The Incentive Travel Exchange is an invitation-only, appointment-based event catering exclusively to the incentive travel market. The formula brings together North American buyers with pre-qualified suppliers and consists of pre-arranged one-to-one meetings.
"The Incentive Travel Exchange is an event that holds significant opportunities for our members who specifically seek a structured business meeting forum," said Brenda Anderson, CEO of SITE. "Our partnership will raise awareness of this event and provide industry leaders from around the globe the opportunity to conduct meaningful exchanges in an effective platform."
The announcement came during the second annual Incentive Travel Exchange taking place 25-27 June 2007 at the THEhotel at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, Nevada USA, where more than 150 industry professionals are currently conducting business and building their network.
Alicia Evanko, CMP, Show Director for Questex Media Group's Travel Portfolio events stated, "We are very excited about this new partnership opportunity. SITE's endorsement will help us continue to grow what is already a remarkable and stellar event. Their international influence and highly regarded status within the incentive travel market, partnered with our preeminent event, is surely a formula for success."
SITE members and the community will hear more about the event as planning gets underway for the 2008 event scheduled for 23-25 June also at THEhotel at Mandalay Bay.
