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

Dear members,

As we embark on a new chapter in our journey, I am thrilled to announce that we have officially become SITE SPAIN & PORTUGAL. This exciting merger opens up a world of possibilities for us, and we are brimming with enthusiasm for the opportunities that lie ahead.

Our chapter has experienced extraordinary growth over the past 2 years, now surpassing 70 members. This achievement is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our Board members and Committee Members, whose tireless efforts have propelled us forward.

In 2024, our goals are ambitious, but keeping sustainability at the center of our agenda. Promoting environmentally respectful practices and initiatives within the MICE industry.

I also want to emphasize the importance of active participation within our community. Engaging with fellow members and chapter leaders not only enriches your journey but also fosters lifelong global relationships, both professionally and personally. As longstanding members of SITE, I encourage each of you to seize the opportunity to contribute and stay connected.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all our members, volunteers, and sponsors for their unwavering support throughout the past year. Your dedication has been instrumental in our success, and I am optimistic about the bright future that lies ahead for us.
