The Society for Incentive Travel Executives (SITE) and AIBTM, (aibtm), the Americas Incentive, Business Travel and Meetings Exhibition have combined forces to deliver the a half-day seminar; ‘Win That Bid’, which will take place on June 11 from 1:30 pm – 5:30 pm in conference room W193A. The session has been designed to provide attendees with the opportunity to connect and expand their personal and professional network as well as gain knowledge from peer collaboration and interaction with industry leaders. During the half-day workshop, Site Young Leaders will be placed in teams, which will each try to win the bid on a case-study incentive programme request for proposal (RFP). After creating a company brand image, teams will work through the elements of an incentive travel programme and bid process with the support of an industry mentor. Participants of the workshop will then get the chance to present a case-study bid and receive valuable professional feedback from an esteemed panel of industry judges including Scott Graf, President, BCD Meetings & Incentives; Bich-Lien Kaldahl Manager, Meeting, Incentive, Convention & Exhibition, United Airlines and Rhea Stagner, VP Supplier Relations, Sourcing and Proposal Development, Maritz Travel. Christie Pruyn, Director of Operations, SITE commented, “The programme has been designed to help our future generation of leaders to focus on and think through elements of an incentive travel programme and bid process. We want to provide a platform for young leaders to spend an interactive afternoon with like-minded professionals and share creative thought processes which will help each of them develop in their respective roles”. Members of SITE who are interested in joining this session at AIBTM should email site@siteglobal to confirm their space.
