Our events: education and connection

At SITE Spain & Portugal we provide educational events throughout the Spanish territory that provide professional growth to our members and which are intended to develop into forums for discussions, platforms for creative exchanges and knowledge sharing. Thanks to the contribution of our members, sponsors and collaborators, we are able to support new talent with a targeted program for Young Leaders that helps them prepare for the future of incentive events.

There are several reasons why being a member of SITE is a step forward in the professional careers of our members, but if there is one that stands out, it is the sense of community. The professional certifications offered by SITE (CIS, CITP) which are part of the association's continuous training program, the Annual Conference that brings together the elite of the incentive events industry, and the hundreds of events that are held throughout the world, where all members are welcome to attend, is a source of inspiration, exchange and camaraderie.

What our members love about SITE Spain & Portugal

SITE has been part of my life for 25 years now. I started as a “Young Leader” when there was no category for it. Being a SITE member has allowed me to connect with many wonderful professionals from different cultures and countries, building long lasting friendships and business networks, sharing knowledge and challenges, attending Site Global Conference for first class education and fun networking, sitting together in exams to get our certifications, working together at the Board of Site Spain & Portugal and volunteering on an International level serving different committees.

President's message 2025

Dear SITE Spain & Portugal Friends and Chapter Members,

It is with great honor and excitement that I step into the role of President for 2025 after my 6-years journey within the association. 

As we look ahead to another year of growth and opportunity, I would like to take a moment to express my deep gratitude to the Board members who have worked tirelessly throughout 2024. Their dedication and vision have set a solid foundation for us, and I look forward to building upon their incredible efforts.

This year promises to be one of great energy and new beginnings. We are thrilled to welcome new members to our Board for 2025, who bring fresh perspectives, passion, and expertise. Together, we will continue the work of driving our association forward with a renewed sense of purpose.

Our focus for 2025 is clear: more value and greater involvement for our members. We are committed to ensuring that every member, new and existing, sees tangible benefits from being part of SITE Spain & Portugal. One of our key goals is to reach the milestone of 100 members – and hopefully surpass it!

We will also place significant emphasis on empowering our Young Leaders, recognizing the importance of investing in the new generation that will ultimately lead the incentive travel industry. Our flagship event, Ignite Your Flame, will be the heart of this initiative, creating opportunities for young professionals to connect, learn, and chart their own paths to leadership.

2025 also marks our second year as SITE Spain & Portugal, and we are committed to deepening our connection with our Portuguese members. We will continue to expand our presence in Portugal, providing even more networking and educational opportunities to both current and future members. Our goal is to ensure that our chapter becomes a truly unified one spanning both Spain and Portugal, offering a vibrant and inclusive community for all.

Together, we have an exciting year ahead. I am truly inspired by the energy and potential that our community holds, and I am confident that with your support, we will achieve great things in 2025.

Thank you for your ongoing dedication to SITE. Let’s ignite the future of incentive travel together!

Warm regards,
Yulia Lekomtseva
