Being a member of SITE just makes sense — or cents, for the more budget-minded among us! Here are a few insights on how you can grow, personally and professionally, by taking advantage of the many opportunities on offer to all SITE members.

Save on event registrations, certifications, and professional development

We’ll jump straight to the bottom line: your SITE membership will cost you, at most, $445/€445 in 2022. SITE also offers discounted membership rates for developing professionals, students, retirees, and others. Discover all membership rates here.   

Once you’ve joined or renewed, your SITE membership grants you instant access to serious savings. If you’re looking to get certified and showcase your incentive travel professional expertise, you’ll save literally hundreds of dollars on the CIS or CITP exams as a SITE member. If you’re looking to earn either designation, congratulations: your SITE membership essentially pays for itself with what you save in exam fees!  

SITE members also enjoy discounts at all SITE events. This includes the 2022 SITE Global Conference, where SITE members can currently save $300 USD when registering. Members also enjoy up to a 25% discount on their SITE NITE North America and SITE NITE Europe registrations.

Build priceless industry relationships

Time and time again, our members decide to #beinSITE each year for things you simply can’t put a price on.

SITE members span the globe and work in all parts of the business events industry. This information and expertise is right at members’ fingertips through our online SITE member directory. Search instantly for the exact perspective you’re looking for, get connected to deepen your industry ties, and enjoy being part of a truly global network full of incentive professionals who are eager to advance the business case for incentive travel.

Members also connect in locally through SITE chapters. Many members even get involved beyond their local geographies, with the option to join additional chapters for just $50 per chapter each year — with some even joining 6+ groups!

There’s also lots of online chatter and member news shared across SITE’s social feeds — including on our LinkedIn page, in a members-only LinkedIn group, or on our Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram feeds. Many chapters also run their own active pages on these platforms, giving you both global and local takes on incentives.

Earn recognition for all that you do

Being part of the only business events association dedicated exclusively to the global incentive travel industry is recognition worthy in and of itself. But to go the extra mile, SITE members also celebrate their achievements with friends and colleagues through several special moments each year.

The Kevin Forde Spirit Award, Master Motivator Award, SITE Member of the Year Award, and Richard Ross Past Presidents’ Award recognize standout members of the SITE community each year. A slate of Chapter-based awards, as well as the SITE Crystal Awards round out the ways SITE recognizes the incredible work our members do.

SITE members also have access to annual scholarship funding, including the David Riddell Memorial Scholarship, to let their developing knowledge shine.

We also celebrate the smaller wins, with regular member recognition updates in our twice-monthly SITESource member newsletter and on SITE’s Motivate blog and IncentiveWise news feed.

The best way to understand the true value of being a SITE member is by getting involved and experiencing it for yourself. Ready to renew or join? We look forward to welcoming you!
