Fifty years after SITE’s formation in New York City, the organization hosted its 2023 Global Conference in the same city. From February 17-20, 2023, travel industry leaders from around the globe gathered at the New York Marriott Marquis to network, exchange ideas, and find innovative ways to create value and drive organizational success.
Global Conference is SITE’s signature event, serving as an annual meeting point for the global community of incentive travel professionals to connect, learn, discover and collaborate to help shape the future of the industry. At this year’s show, industry leaders joined SITE in NYC to celebrate 50 years of incentive travel excellence.

The event featured more than 100 speakers, covering topics ranging from the future of travel, the latest trends in technology, and the impact of digital transformation on the travel industry. Sessions were held on virtual mobility, rewarding customer relationships, and leveraging contextual data to drive efficiency.
Attendees also had the chance to discover how established and emerging technologies can drive innovation and improve the customer experience. Keynote speakers included the leaders of global travel companies, meeting & event industry professionals, influencers and thought leaders, and more.
Topics and themes discussed at this years’ show include driving value for clients, building relationships rather than transactions, keeping up momentum during turbulent times, utilizing communities and bringing them together via virtual meetings, business meeting and hybrid meeting.
