Join us for SITE DAY!
As our nearly 3,000-member-strong global association completes its 50th anniversary year, we invite you to join us on December 4 — SITE DAY — for an interactive virtual event facilitated by Braindates.
You can participate in some (or all) three hours of small group discussions we’ll be hosting on the Braindates platform and choose from dozens of topics listed — or even start your own conversation.
We know the #1 reason people join SITE is to be part of a global incentive travel community, and we are excited to bring as many members together as we can for valuable conversation and networking.
Register now here.

Auckland – look anew at incentives in New Zealand
Meet Auckland, the largest city and gateway to New Zealand.
With new operators and air routes flying direct, including Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston Chicago, Honolulu, Vancouver, it’s more accessible than ever.
New openings have brought big brand sophistication to Auckland’s accommodation offering, including Park Hyatt, JW Marriott, and InterContinental properties.
Auckland is encircled by three sparkling harbors and offers the best of cosmopolitan flair and stunning natural beauty; from fine food and wine, and superb shopping and attractions, to vineyard-covered islands, native bush and black sand beaches.
Beyond that, there’s the rest of the country to explore, and endless possibilities to motivate and reward. You’ll find mountains, fiords, geysers, forests, and dark sky reserves. You will experience New Zealand’s unique Indigenous Māori culture, and a welcoming hospitality that emphasises connection and care.
Your best-ever incentive in New Zealand is closer than you think.
