I love Thanksgiving in New York — it’s easily one of the best places to be for this epic American holiday.

And while I’m not exactly a hop, skip, and jump away from the famous balloons and bands that dazzle each year at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, you still feel the energy of this and other fun traditions connected to my home city (and home state) throughout the holiday weekend.

It’s maybe with this Thanksgiving spirit in mind, then, that I’m feeling a little extra grateful toward the many strategic partners and sponsors who help make SITE’s work possible each year.

It is because of our many partners that we’re able to showcase the breadth and depth of our industry; help support emerging incentive professionals; and share the stories and legacies that our association has played a leading role in, as incentive travel and its use has grown throughout the business world.

SITE’s about to turn 50 years old in 2023 and has quite a legacy of industry support behind it that we’re eager to celebrate. While festivities are planned for much of 2023, our big kick-off will begin at this year’s SITE Global Conference — taking place in none other than the Big Apple itself, New York City.

For those who would like to join us in New York City this February as a strategic partner or event sponsor: my inbox is open, and I’d love to hear from you.

This is an excellent opportunity to not just help SITE’s future impacts while focusing on its past ones. It’s also a prime way for you to start big in the new year, as recovery continues full steam ahead and the incentive market is raring to go.

Becoming a SITE Global Conference sponsor gives your brand key visibility with audiences you need to reach — and with plenty of flexibility and a range of sponsorship levels on offer, we can work with you to find the exact right opportunity for what you’re looking to achieve with your support.

And, in the spirit of this week’s holiday: serving as a sponsor comes with our immense gratitude. We truly can’t do this work without our partners, and appreciate each and every relationship we get to strengthen through working together.

Wishing everyone celebrating this week a happy, healthy Thanksgiving — and looking forward to welcoming our entire community to my town in just a few months!
