SITE Global Education Week: 13-17 April 2015

Local engagement… Global reach

SITE Global Education Week is an industry advocacy initiative designed to create awareness and celebrate the impact that the global incentive travel industry has on business growth. Throughout this week, SITE will broadcast webinars on a variety of industry topics that will offer our members and general audience continued education. Visit SITE Global Education Week for more details.

In addition to taking part in the Global Education Week sessions, SITE SoCal is offering two special events of our own for the 2015 North America Meetings Industry Day on April 16.

Meetings Podcast: First Annual North American Meetings Industry Day 2015 with SITE SoCal.

Through a generous collaboration with Grass Shack Events & Media, we have a podcast for you featuring interviews with SITE members from some of our southern California CVBs.

The valuable topics include updates on recent trends, special WOW-factor incentive programs and new and exciting developments in each destination.
